Shin Splints

@mdtrackcoach

I have an athlete that is having some shin issues…he and I believe that it could be caused by weak lower leg muscles. I was thinking of implementing some sand walks/drills. When should I implement them…the beginning of speed/technical days or on the tempo days?

Walking on your heels for 20m a couple of times before each work out, does good. Just rub them as often as possible, ice massage works great too.
