Need advice for track novice

Well, actually she has Japanese and Orchestra instead of PE.

We figured since she is in Cross Country in the Fall, Basketball in the Winter and Track in the Spring at School, that was enough to fill in for PE, as this way she was able to take an extra Class.

Is there a special doctor to do the Physical?
She had a School Sports physical about 6 months ago, but I doubt that is the same thing your talking about?

She only uses her spkes for meets, and all running is mostly on the track (mondo) or on grass.

She only works out in Track now, nothing extra.

Thank you for all the advice and information.

If she has a series of meets now at the end of the school year, bring the training volume WAY down and let her performances come up and her shin splints go down. The meets will take care of her needs. Age 11 is very young for an extensive training program- her performances are very good now but you must be careful. it is always better to undertrain than overtrain and especially at a young age. The previous advice is good also.
