Does anyone get extremely painful shins when running? I assume this is what shin splints are. I have noticed over the years that I am fine doing low impact stuff, and even walking fast on the treadmill on a very high incline, but the second I pick up my legs to jog, my shins kill me.
I know the response will likely be that it must be my shoes, but over the years I have tried sooo many pairs of quality sneakers and the pain never changes. Is this just something my body will eventually get used to? Is it a sign of injury? Or should I just not bother and stick to low impact cardio? I have never been one for running, because of the shins and my very large chest, but it does seem like a very efficient way to exercise and I'd like to be able to do it without pain.
