Hey guys. So I’ve been trying to get back into running. I used to run cross country in high school. Fast forward 9 years later. In the fall of 2024 I started going to run clubs twice a week and it went really well. I was really improving. This year I wanted to run 3 miles in my neighborhood for 4-5 days a week, I bought new running shoes and everything, but I keep feeling tightness in my right calf. I’ve been doing dynamic stretches prior and static stretches after. When I was in the run clubs last year I barely stretched yet I didn’t feel any pain or tightness . I don’t know why I keep feeling this tightness. I noticed when I ran on my mom’s treadmill I was able to run faster and didn’t feel any tightness. But whenever I run outside that’s when it really comes in. My hypothesis is that it’s because of all the twists and turns in my neighborhood sidewalk. Whenever I was at the run clubs last year we usually ran in a straight line through the city. I’m tempted to give up but I really want to get faster, any advice?

theres 3 zones to aim for depending on your workout goal

Fat-Burning Zone (60–70% of Max HR)

Cardio Zone (70–85% of Max HR)

Anaerobic Zone (85–95% of Max HR)

i was just going all out mostly in anaerobic zone when working on cardio and tiring myself out, and then when i monitored my heart rate and stayed around the minimum for cardio zone i saw the difference in calorie burned wasnt that significant just as long as i was staying with the range

Most consider there to be 5 zones. Lot of hype around zone 2 cardio in recent times

To get rid of it asap, just take a short break and decrease volume (shorter runs, fewer times per week) and build on what feels good. You can ice your shins for a short period (10-15 min) a couple times a day to lighten the pain.

To prevent shin splints its important to build your running slowly and steadily. They develop after repetitive activity, so continuing won’t help you much. Before running a solid warming up, maybe start walking, and afterwards do some stretching. For example do standing calf stretches, ankle stretches, heel raises.

Last but not least check your gear. Your shoes might be a problem and you can wear compressing socks (feet to knees). These socks improve blood circulation and support the muscles around the shin, however it is not a guaranteed solution.
