Running question
 

How long does it take to recover from shin splints? I haven't done any road running in 5 weeks but I've played a little soccer and have no problems. I picked up some shoes that suit my running style so I have eliminated that problem but I want to make sure I allow enough healing time in order to not reaggravate my injury. Any info is appreciated.

They take about 2-3 days ? Unless they hurt really bad you can still run moderatly

yeah but it can be more of a long term thing eh?

i'd be happy to start running again after 5 weeks but
1) ease back into it
2) plenty of stretching before and after a run
3) if you feel any discomfort AT ALL give it a bit longer rest

that's my opinion anyway :) good luck
