I noticed it’s considerably worse when I run outside on the street/sidewalk as opposed to on a treadmill. I usually run first thing in the morning so I’ve taken a few minutes to stretch my legs thinking that may be the cause but it hasn’t really helped. The only other thing I can think of is that I have flat feet.

Anyone else deal with this and have an idea on how to overcome it?

    Back when I did cross-country and track, we did shin splint prevention drills each day that basically involved walking about 20m first on our toes, then 20m on our heels, then repeating both of those steps with our toes pointing in and again with our toes pointing out.

      Thanks, I’ll definitely give that a shot.
