How do you deal with shin splints when running? (lemm.ee)

I noticed it's considerably worse when I run outside on the street/sidewalk as opposed to on a treadmill. I usually run first thing in the morning so I've taken a few minutes to stretch my legs thinking that may be the cause but it hasn't really helped. The only other thing I can think of is that I have flat feet.

Anyone else deal with this and have an idea on how to overcome it?

Thanks for the input, I'll definitely try the stretch and was actually thinking of seeing a physiotherapist, might end up doing that if it doesn't get better.

Also, side questions since you're a mod here. Are some people shadow banned or something? I got comments in my inbox but I don't see them actually displayed here.

It may be related to the federation between servers. No one is banned in the community.

Makes sense, thanks.
