Shin splints suck. I can’t seem to gauge when I’m fully healed so I’ve been out of commission for a while from exacerbating it after I thought I was okay to run again.
It sucks even more because I just found and joined the local running club and can’t join in on the fun.
Take it slow and gentle. If you can go see a physio who can help with the recovery side of things.
Posterior or anterior shin splits. I suffered from posterior shin splits for years! Finally over them now
Anterior. I can’t even imagine how agonizing posterior ones must feel, but I’m glad that life is behind you! Hopefully I’ll be joining you soon in a few more weeks.
That really sucks.
I have heard that rowing is a good way to keep the cardio up when the legs are down for the count
Any low-impact cardio will work as a substitute if you’re also ever in this situation. Swimming and biking tend to be the most popular alternatives, but I don’t have easy access to either unfortunately.
