Advice on shin splints

I wear good Brooks running shoes but have also tried On Clouds, Hoka’s, and Xero.

Totally useless if you haven’t been fitted for them

I can run on my treadmill or outside and still seem to get them if I run more than 2x/week.

I’m going to guess you have not had your running form looked at and fitted with the correct shoes.

Also treadmill running is different than hitting the pavement

Unless you are running on a woodway type treadmill

On clouds are not good running shoes

I get splints when I stretch too much. Try different warmup moves and shakeout on the run instead.

And as mentioned, run through them.

Get them very stretched and loosened before walking or running. Simple.

I have never been able to 'run through them' ETA: to be fair though, i am almost convinced mine are not actually shin splints, but runners compartment syndrome.

I will say, my best success in avoiding pain lately has been running at a quicker pace, as i reckon my form is significantly better when faster. Gotta take more rests, but it should all even out a bit at some point.
