re: Official Running Log/Marathon Training Thread

Question for the gallery: y’all think there is any link between shin pain and switching between low drop/high drop shoes?

Backstory: I was running daily miles in 5mm drop Hoka’s, my adult soccer league started back up about the same time my Hoka’s went flat, started running in Nikes with 10mm drop then got some other shoes between 8 and 10, have also been playing soccer twice a week. I’ve been getting pretty consistent shin pain, not debilitating but present. Just feels like tightness and I can run through it but my runs just don’t feel good. Like I’m landing heavy and slapping the pavement. Curious if switching between 0 drop/0 cushion soccer cleats on a turf field and high drop/high cushion running shoes is messing with me? Could also be I’m out of shape but , I feel pretty fit overall.
