Hi Dale, * OT * "Shin Splints" Usually caused by shoes that aren't flexible and not stretching the calf muscles enough. Take your hands and place them at either end of the shoe, with the toes pointing away from you. Bend the shoe towards you using the hand furthest away and the other holding the heel steady. The shoe should be flexible to the feel. It's easy to forget to stretch the calf muscle. Here's a very easy stretch. Lean forward placing both hands against a flat surface with one leg straight and the other bent at the knee. You should feel your calf and achilles stretch in the leg that is straight. Hold this position for 30-60 seconds and switch the position of the legs. I hope this information helps you. It comes from having nearly every running and cycling injury known from the hips to my toes in the past 25 years! Mark
