Injury Rehabilitation Series Shin Splints
Anatomy and Function of the Shin
An Excerpt from Healthy Running Step by Step
- Robert Forster, Pt
The term shin splints is a catchall phrase that refers to nearly all pain in the lower leg except calf and Achilles tendon injuries. There are two types: anterior shin splints and medial shin splints.
Anterior shin splints appear as pain in the fleshy muscle in the front of the lower leg. Although this injury is common when runners first begin running after a layoff, it is rarely serious or persistent.
Medial shin splints (technically termed a periostitis), which appear on the inside border of the lower leg bone (tibia), are much worse. They occur from overpronation when you run too far too soon, straining tendons that attach to the tibia and pulling the periosteum, the paper-thin tissue covering of all bones, away from the shin bone.

4 Steps to Your Perfect Marathon Taper
- Ben Rosario TrainingPeaks
I have often said that in many ways coaching the marathon is the easiest of any of the distances. The mile, the 5k, the 10k and even the half marathon distances require athletes and coaches to put together a perfect blend of multiple training zones in the weeks and months leading up to the big day. But for the marathon, for the most part, it's just a steady diet of long, grinding workouts at or near marathon pace that gets the job done. That is, until those last two weeks.
