I used to have this problem but not anymore.
The natural thing is to check your trainers and make sure they are good for your feet. Also watch how your feet actually hit the ground to make sure you are not putting unnecessary pressure on your shins.
The biggest problem however is with how you actually introduce your body to running. Do not go all out sprinting and make your targets in terms of time and not distance.Last edited by Jim Tom; 03-03-2014, 07:18 AM.

Trainer's could be an issue. Usually you'll get em when you increase your training drastically and you're body ain't ready for it. If you haven't changed much, then the basics (hydration, stretching, improper warm-up).
Now that you got em another thing that helps is massaging under the "tibula" I think it's called. Basically on the inside of your shin, if you massage under that bone you'll notice a bunch of knots. Just massage them out and it'll help heal it faster.
