Preventing Shin Splints

Proper progression in training is crucial for preventing shin splints, especially when increasing running volume or intensity. The 10% rule serves as a guideline, but a more conservative approach may be necessary for those returning to running after a long break.

Understanding one’s limits and building gradually can make all the difference in staying injury-free.
