I run just over 3 miles 4 times a week in the evenings. My coach said his happy enough as he doesn't want me to wreck my shins. I'm 240lbs and have a history of shin splints.
Mickeyb - You might have to change your running style or gait as they call it. You can reduce the shin splints depending on how your feet strike the ground.

Yeah i know. I've looked into it. I've changed my running surface also - usually hit the playing fields (however its been flooding and the pitches are waterlogged and muddy and i can't run on em without sinking, so i'm back on the pavement).
I've tried adjusting the way my feet strike the ground. But i don't know.. it just hurts the insole of my left foot. So i give em a days rest after i've ran that one day. I don't wanna be hobbling about whilst boxing training.
Shin splints can be a big problem and darkstranger is right; how your feet land can effect the injury. I'm not sure how they are supposed to land but foot placement and shoes can make a difference.
i run 5 miles about 3 or 4 days a week i go up 5 hills and i go up 2 hills that are almost vertical but theres alot of factors to runnin then just the distance anyway so it dont matter
I do about 2-3 miles 3 times a week, i know its **** all but ive always been a **** runner, now my question is this: there are lads at the gym who can run far longer and faster than me yet i can spar a good 7-8 rounds comfortably when the same lads are shot after 2-3 rounds? any answers??
