Don’t know what the volume, frequency and intensity of your sprints are. But for these kind of movements a proper progression is advised. Perhaps it would be a good idea to seek out a sprinting coach. He can help you build a safe progression and help you out with sprinting technique. Bad technique can mess you up big time, especially when combined with overloading. Take care!
in the past, I have taken anti-inflammatory, I have been without impact exercises for 3 months, but always when returning, even gradually, the pain returned. (this 5 years ago)
I’m not made to run.
in most cases, it is recommended to stay away from workouts, take anti-inflammatories, ice …
before even starting the 400m sprint, was walking for long distances and running 1 to 2km …
then I went on to 12-minute races, trying to reach the goal of 2800km
and soon after I started at 400m.
never more than 2x a week.
I’ve done it for fun, and I’ll probably become a cop. It is necessary to take a test of 2800km in 12min
Bad anatomy can cause this. It sounds like a repeat problem for you so I’m guessing you either have an obvious weakness (bad mechanics or actual muscle weakness/imbalance) or improper footwear. If your shoes cause/allow you to over pronate then it causes a bad chain reaction up the leg. It can cause your arch to collapse and that “pulls” on the tissue above it and is usually observed when you get shin splints.
Start with getting your feet evaluated by someone who knows what they’re doing. I went to a running store and they helped me find the right shoes for my foot. Some places even have treadmills so you can actually run in the shoes before you buy them.
That’s awful. Figure out a way to fix it. I have flat feet but I don’t collapse that bad. I have the Brooks Beast shoe. They put my feet in the correct position and make a big difference in how my knees feel.
You can have a good arch but it will collapse if your shoes don’t support it.
Also, concrete is a terrible running surface…like the worst. It beats you up more than anything.
A lot of people run on the streets and sidewalks and have no problems, but you’re getting injured and the running surface could be a factor.
It’s impossible to pinpoint the cause of your pain but good shoes and a softer running surface might help. Keep researching remedies for shin splints. There’s probably a muscle strengthening component out there that could help too.
See a podiatrist. Store-bought insoles are garbage. You’ll have your feet examined and a plaster mold taken to make custom orthotics. I had flat feet and horrible tendinitis for years and it was fixed by a good podiatrist. As a supplemental measure, give your calves plenty of attention and also perform dorsiflexion exercises. Shin splints suck, but it’s more often than not a weakness, a form issue, or both that’s causing them.
