Shin splints aren’t just from “tight calves.” 👣

They’re actually a bony overload issue—usually from ramping up mileage or intensity too fast. But things like poor sleep, under-fueling, stress, and hormonal changes all play a role too.

Fixing it isn’t about rest or ice — it’s about rebuilding strength and capacity:
🏋️‍♀️ Plyometrics
🦶 Foot & ankle strength
💪 Tibialis anterior loading

You can’t just avoid impact—you have to train for it.
