How Can Shin Splints Be Treated?

I am spinning 1 hr 2X/week, pilates same, gentle yoga same, also in a progressive walking program designed by Reebok that takes me from walking 14 total weekly mileage(now) to 40 miles and then ramps down quickly to 9 miles the last week before the AVON39 in NYC, middle of October. What are shin splints, how can I tell if I get them, how do I treat them, and lastly, how can I avoid them?

Hi,

You can take breaks in between to avoid exhaustion. You can also use compression stockings also. Consult a sports medicine specialist for expert evaluation.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
