Way too many people get shin splints because they attempt to target the symptoms, not the cause. A good strengthening routine doesn't have to take a long time, but it's super important to do.

Shin splints are one of the most frustrating and debilitating injuries a runner can get. Unfortunately, they're also one of the most common, especially for new runners and triathletes. Here's how to cure them fast! If you're a beginner triathlete looking to improve your swimming, biking, or running, then it's my mission to help you out! Triathlon can be super intimidating, but it's a great sport if you can get through that initial intimidation and get out there. Triathlon gear reviews, training tips, and my own racing vlogs are here to help keep you motivated and up to date in the sport. Thanks for following!

Back here to comment after watching this video a couple of months ago. Spent ages trying to find a cure but no mater how much resting/rolling, they would always come back when I got down to running at 3:50km pace. Been running pain free now for a while and the thought of shin splints rarely cross my mind now after incorporating these exercised 2-3 times per week. Out of 100 videos, this was the one that sorted it for me. Thanks

Looking forward to trying this! Ran a half-marathon last year with zero shin splint issues but was strength training for a year prior and the entire time training for the run. I suspected that was what kept me from injury! Got off track for a while and now when getting back I'm having some shin splint issues. My first thought was loss of strength, so I'm going to incorporate these exercises in along with getting back to strength training 3X per week. Thank you and I will keep you posted!

Glad I found your video, Justin. Shin splints have ruined my fun for a few years now. Have had to run 5ks and mini triathlons sit zero run practice due to the onset of shin splints. The band causes pain in the exact same area my shin splints start, so being able to train that muscle up will hopefully help hugely. Thanks 👍🏻

Hope it helps a ton! Looking back, I'd also really add in that once you've got the added strength, try to put a focus on your running form too. I see a pretty strong correlations amongst the people I have run with that the people who do serious heel striking (and/or seem to keep their toes flexed up to the sky) really seem more likely to get them. I'm not the religious 'barefoot runner' type, but just broadly, keeping your foot relaxed and letting yourself land more in the middle/front of your foot seems to help. My personal suspician is that keeping your foot 'flexed' up hard and then heel striking adds a ton of stress to the front. Add strength and nail your form and you should be good. :)

@hisdud3ness93 Жыл бұрын
It helps with posterior too, but I recommend taking a video of yourself and sending to a running coach. For me I had weak core and slow running cadence, also collapsed arches and overpronated a lot. I got orthopedic insoles and good shoes for pronating runners. Then incorporated some core exercises, gradually shortened my stride and quickened my running cadence and in around 3 months my shin splints were completely gone.

I have never run in my life until I turned 50 and started running and playing soccer. Mad! it took three years and no more pain on shin splint, knees, and hip joints. I think it takes time until your body fixes it. There is no medicine or therapy. My experience is, working out in the gym to strengthen knees and hips only adding more pressure and pain. Since the pandemic, I don't play soccer, i don't go to the gym. Suddenly, this past summer, I could run for an hour and felt no pain.

Hi, I have shin splints exactly as u describe but my pain is more in the inner side of the shins. I started to do this calves workout 14 days ago and I take care of it really well. Are these exercises work for the inner side too? My plan is to strech the the workout plan for more 16 days and get back to runing. (30 days total of recovery and the calves workout you showed us). Do u recommend keep doing this for longer time? I'm really despert for results, I'm stuck with shin splints more than a year. 🤔

I’m tired of the exact cycle you described of running more, getting shin splints, and resting, just to get shin splints AGAIN and end up quitting. One thing that helped in the past were ice baths, but it would be nice to do something a little less intense.

Hey man. I just want to say I really appreciated how you took the time to empathize about the struggles of getting into running and past shin splints. People seem to ignore how much of a deterrent this can really be. I am going to try out this method I was just doing it without resistance and I can already feel that area being engaged. I'll try and make sure I let you know if it helps out.
@JustinDoesTriathlon
@JustinDoesTriathlon 6 жыл бұрын
Good luck man! I absolutely empathize. Looking back, I get sort of frustrated at myself for not trying to really find a solution earlier on. Really regret the years of lost progress, but it is what it is. I get frustrated that a lot of people get injured and then think that it's their fault, or that 'they're just not a runner/built for running,' etc, and then fall out of an awesome sport before they even really get to experience it. In the scheme of injuries to have, I'd argue that at least it's one you can do something about, and you can totally get through it. It's so frustrating to feel fit and want to run and then get sidelined by something like shin splints or ITBS. Ultimately, I'd just say that deep down, I absolutely think that humans are built for running. Just gotta figure out what we're weak at, fix it, and we're great.

Some other things you can do are lean your back against a wall, with your feet placed a foot or two away from the wall, and raising your feet to contract the shins (this can also be done on a slant board/angled surface facing downward) With the resistance band you can also step on one side to create resistance for the other foot to train with You can just do simple toe raises with lots of reps, or add some weight (5, 10 pounds, a can of soup, whatever you have) A weird one ive also seen is to go on your tippy toes, squat down a little bit to put more of weight on your shins, and try walking around on your toes slow and controlled. Holding weight while doing this intensifies it

Hope it helps! Shin splints are in my top two or three least favorite injuries [Silly as that sounds, but some injuries are easier to get rid of than others.] Check the pinned comment for my thoughts on run form too. Good run form + quicker footstep cadence + strength is basically my recipe for no shin splints. Kinda logical if you break it down: You're stronger & you're hitting the ground with less force. Overuse absolutely contributes to shin splints, but they also seem to be common in people who just SLAM their feet down. It even looks painful! I did another older video on my strength routine. Mabye check that out too. To be honest, I still don't love strength work. Just not my thing. BUT it keeps you injury free. I'm about 50 miles per week right now and don't remember the last time I was injured. It works!

What you're doing essentially is calf raises and reverse calf raise. You can also do seated calf raises that targets a third muscle that the other two exercises don't, the soleus. The other two targets the gastro and tibia. Although the soleus I presume is more for sprinting rather than jogging. There're also the extensor muscles, and the peroneus muscles, which I am not sure how to preferentially target or even what they'd be useful for. But they're either in the calf or ankle though so targeting them all might help the shins.

My situation is slightly different. I am a senior citizen, not a runner or doing heavy exercising. February of 2018 I was walking my dog on a dark, rainy night. I tripped over a tree or bush stump raised about an inch above the ground. The left ankle/leg turned and took the left leg down. The right leg tried to recover, but actually got the worst of the injuries. With the assistance of a good Chiropractor, I have recovered from most injuries. A shin splint remains on the front of the right leg. I attempted wrapping the area but the pain was immediately worse. It has been 10 months now. I am limited to a sock with little elastic and simple daily activity. I alternating activity with rest, stretching, and application of cool, moist cloths. Any thoughts.

2 years later, I have now converted myself to forefoot running. It was THIS video that made me look into what midfoot running was. Since then, I experimented with how my feet strikes the ground when I run, and it turned out that forefoot running was the one that eliminated shin splints for me. Gosh, it was so hard to convert, but now I can’t even run midfoot anymore bcs I’ve gotten so used to forefoot running. It’s been much better on my knees as well.

I experience shin splints around the Tib Posterior area along the inside of the tibia rather than the front area. I'm guessing the Therapy band reps instead of going up and down, rotating the resistance inwards would be better?

I've ALWAYS had anterior leg pain, especially as young kid. I'm youngest (by 11 + years) one in a bunch of girls, three cousins and two sisters. I always tried to keep up with them, hence, shin splints.Not one doctor ever suggested strength excises. I"m excited to get my legs back in shape. I'll check in with you after I try it.

I hope so too! I spent literally years trying to get into running and failing due to splints. I'd start, they'd show up, people say to rest, I'd rest, I'd start, and bam, get them again. Repeat until I get frustrated and just stop. That was literally like.... 2 or 3 years of that. Resting is definitely super important, but I've found that strengthening is key too. I especially like the exercise at about 5:30. You can really feel it in the shins.

@JustinDoesTriathlon
@JustinDoesTriathlon 6 жыл бұрын
They shouldn't be hard enough that you need to recovery from them in the way you would, say, proper strength training. I generally do them after running 2-3x weekly, regardless of whether I have a run the next day. Just getting into it, you could start off doing it after your runs before a rest day, and then don't do it before a long run. I'm definitely never actively sore from any of that though. I did another video on general running strengthening which I'm a big proponent of as well. The two together work really well for me now. Ultimately, in my opinion, I've seen the lost success just be doing ANY strengthening. Seems like tons of runners (myself included a long time) just don't do any, and that's how injuries crop up.

@JustinDoesTriathlon
@JustinDoesTriathlon 5 жыл бұрын
Yeah, that's some classic shin splints. Even if you just feel the muscles on the front of the shin, they're very thin (it's not like your calf or anything.) Take time off then do your strength work. Another thing I'll add, specifically if you're getting into running and that's what's causing it: Really focus on your form. Here's a quick way to get good form: Stand in place. Now run in place. Run in place a little bit faster. Lean forward slowly while running in place, until you get to the point where you naturally take a step. BAM, that's actually pretty damn good run form. You don't need to be extending your foot out super far, 'lifting' your toes/front of your foot, and heel striking. Really focus on a light footstrike, quick cadence, and keeping your feet under your center of mass. That's a big deal, imo.
