I’ve seen the compression socks but didn’t know how effective they would be, will definitely get a set to try. Do you think it’s worth looking in to insoles as well as the compression socks?

Have been doing calf raises and toe raises since to help strengthen my lower legs.

Will definitely try and get more calcium and vit D in my diet too thanks

I would use compression socks for everyday walking and calf braces for running.

Good insoles are always a good idea whenever walking or running. Try out different configurations to see what works for you and your arches.

I have a sweet pair of leather shoes [not for running, obviously] that I've had for like a decade. I got new insoles and the shoes seemed at least 1 size too big. Leather had stretched out and the new insoles were smaller than the last. Lame.

On splints:


1. Make sure you are slowly increasing running volume / week

2. Strength conditioning (here is a running youtube with tons of great guides https://www.youtube.com/user/TREther...ence/playlists )

3. Vit C / D can't hurt. I always forget to take it. Also: having a good diet in general should benefit your recovery.

4. Try not to run if you are still sore from the last one. Listen to your body, rest it when it needs etc.

5. Don't fuck with insoles. Get some good running shoes. I recommend going to a running shoe store and having them do a free workup, but you can also find out if your pronation etc if you do some more research online.

I used to get shin splints when I started running. Have you looked into getting proper running shoes? It might be because of how your foot is landing.

I have insoles in my shoes because I like to spoil my feet (essentially they are super comfortable now). But I went to the sports store, they recorded my running and how my foot lands, then fitted me into a pair of shoes that I adore and work for my foot because I enjoy long distance running. Those shoes I use for nothing else but running (I really don't belive in the all-around shoe anymore.). If I get anything remotely like a splint, I keep running until the pain goes away. But I really don't get anything like them anymore so no worries. I go through maybe two-three pairs a year.


I don't use compression sock or compression pants because they make my legs feel slightly numb and to me that isn't nice at all. When I run, I like to feel comfortable and don't want to really focus on anything.Up to you though.

I suffered for about a week then got myself some compression socks, wore them for 2 days solid and it has dramatically reduced it. Can’t feel it at all. Haven’t tried running in them yet because I’ve just been doing other types of cardio to try rest them as much as possible. I’m going to get fitted for insoles or trainers after Christmas and hopefully I won’t need anything else .

Thanks very much, I’ve stopped just now but I’ll slow my intervals right down.

I’ll definitely need to get more vitamin D, that’s probably something my diet lacks because I’m not even sure what foods it is in.

Yeah I’m definitely going to get some proper trainers fitted, it’s something I’ve grew to love so don’t mind spending some money on a good pair!

If you can get some Tommie Copper ones or just ones with copper in them, they are said to be even better for you, health-wise. But who knows if that sh*t is real or not.

I don’t know how I feel about copper stuff. I had a copper bangle and I honestly don’t know if it helped any. I’d probably still try it if I need to though.

One of my friends is a sports therapist too so hopefully she can teach me how to tape my calves up to try and prevent it.

I’m going to try loads of little changes and hopefully they will tide me over until I can get myself new trainers.

Haven’t ran since I last posted in here but I’m going to try it again next week.

The soreness went away before but still got aches when I done certain exercises. I trained legs in the gym and it ended up crippling me. I’m hoping the break has been long enough! I have barely exercised since .

It's probably a good idea to alternate between running and walking to make sure you aren't going out too hard. IE: Run for 1 minute and then walk for 1 minute or whatever is comfortable.

Maybe this subreddit could help you.

It's called Couch to 5k, and the intent is to help people start running.
