(i'm doing a really great program called couch to 5K http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml ) and I'm on week 4, and my shins/calves are hurting SOOO badly after I run..to the point where it's painful to walk. I know to stretch and I've been really religeous about it. I ice them as soon as I'm done, and I take a motrin if it gets really bad. Any other suggestions? I'd like to keep up with this program, it feels so good to be in better shape, but I don't want to get sidelined by an injury!! Jenn, 25 Steven, 29 Kaitlynn, 2 1/2 Ty, 1

I was only jogging intervals and didn't get very far in the C2k... don't have any advice on the shin splints... I've had them before and they suck! .........................................

Jen, one thing that I did do before starting that program was go to a running store and have them evaluate what sneakers I should wear while running. I found out (never would have guessed) that my ankles turn in, and my arches completely flatten when I walk/run. I got sneakers with extra support in the interior arches, and have had NO issues with shin splits, etc. I am only running/jogging/walking about 2 miles at a time, but have had NO pain at all.
