Cramps, shin splints: what to do when running hurts

Cramps & Shin splints are usually a side effect of an imbalance in the shin (tibialis anterior) muscles.

Make sure you are stretching your calves and foam rolling your lateral calf muscles, as well as some trigger point release for your feet (plantar fascia). Work on some slow control calf raises to build strength. Also try laying face down on your mattress at home while driving your toes into the end of mattress and holding for 5 sec x 10 times a day, a great wait to build up your shins.

The last tip is..... You guessed it, REST!

If your still having issues i recommend on seeing a good physio asap
