I was doing C25k this morning, and about half way in, it felt like my left shin just totally seized up. My tendon connecting my leg to my foot seemed to freeze such that I could barely move my foot, and my shin felt so tight! Could barely walk home. Any suggestions on how to prevent this in the future?

There are some stretches to try, just google "shin splints". The best thing to do (is you haven't done so already) is to get the running shoes properly fitted in a specialist running shop. They will analyse your gait and advise what type you need. Shin pain is frequently caused by over- or underpronation that is easily correctable by the right footwear.0
