I used to play ultimate once a week. After a few months of the summer I would be limping everywhere I went because of horrible shin splits (sever pronation in my step). I finally went into the doctor and tried out all kinds of things including orthotics, toe raises, icing, etc. I found taping up my shins nice and tight prior to working out helped relieve the strain on the shins but in the end my doctor told me that the only way to stop the shin splints was to stop playing....
