Check the FAQ first.

Shin pain is probly because your running on hard surfaces (road/pavement etc) and your shoes are not cussioning the impact on the hard surface (sending all the shockwaves into your shin and causing them to micro fracture, which is why they hurt like a bitch), first advice is stop running on hard surfaces (stick to mud/grass/sand etc) second is invest in a good pair of running shoes.

Same goes for the jump rope, try skipping on your toes more (lessens the impact on the shin) and try it on a softer surface (invest in a foam mat? You can get them in Argos for like £15 or so).

Finally see a doctor about the shins, you may have underlying issues from training so long and worsening the condition. Hope this helps.

Original poster- I would suggest immediately cease doing what is causing you pain. I would sit down and watch more tv. Thats never given me pain.


I would also go to the doctor. It could be cancer

Shin pain is a typical side effect of a beginner program. If your legs arent used to run for longer than the way from your coutch to your fridge they need to adapt to the new impact. This takes time. So you need to slow down or even take a break for 3-4 weeks until the pain is completely gone. Otherwise shin splints become chronic which ultimately leads to a fatigue fracture.

Btw, the search button is your friend. You are beating a dead horse.

Why did no one suggest replacing his shins with titanium? That what I'd do.

I disagree with this. You need to drop that cushioned bullshit. Real men sleep on rock and wear ****l. You need to tough that shit out and let your shins actually adapt to the structural demands you are imposing. And you probably need to learn better form to help with shock absorption. Thick, soft shoes also tend to result in people stepping too hard.

I'd also think about seeing a doctor depending on the severity. Just so you can't sue me.
