Learn to love the ice bath. Fill that tub up with cold water and stand in it for as long as you can stand after a run.
IMO, shin splints (and lower leg injuries in general) are more common with beginning and intermediate runners. I got mild shin pain in my first 18 months or so of running regularly - which ice baths helped cure - but I never get them these days. My knee on the other hand ...
