I'm prone to get them pretty bad too....there are 3 things that have been effective for me

1. Warmup. Aggressive walk for 10-15 minutes

2. Shoes. Running in the wrong shoes was not helping.

3. Speed up. Its caused my total mileage to go down, but running at a slower pace caused just really bad form for me. Speeding up has been very effective in more natural, smooth running.

I'll try and go back TrakShak or FleetFeet this weekend and get their recommendations. Currently in Brooks PureFlow 7's which are neutral with little cushioning for street running. Using Asics gel Sonoma 4's which are neutral and heavy cushioned for trail running. I've also been using those compression running socks that come up to the knee. I rotate both during the week running on a gravel track and once on the road.

I've heard that shin splints were a result of bad form.
