INFORMAZIONI SU QUESTO EPISODIO
Do your shin splints keep coming back every time you start running again?
You rest. The pain goes away. You feel good. Then you run… and it comes right back.
If that cycle sounds familiar, you are not alone—and you are not doing anything wrong.
In this episode, Coach Chris and Coach Maya break down why shin splints (medial tibial stress syndrome) keep returning, and why the common advice to “just rest until it feels better” doesn’t actually fix the problem.
We cover:
- 🔁 The “injury loop” that keeps runners stuck in recurring pain
- 🦴 Why pain going away does NOT mean your tissue is healed
- ⚠️ The biggest mistake runners make when returning to training
- 🏃♂️ A simple, practical system to safely get back to running
- ⚙️ How a small cadence adjustment can reduce stress on your shins
