Could be shin splints, search on mfat for methods of avoiding them.

most common cause of shin splints is incorrent footwear, often people think buying a pair of "running shoes" will solve the problem, trouble is buying the right ones, they are all designed for different styles of running and different body types etc. The way to avoid this is to go into a decent shop that specialises in running products, they will look at your running movement, listen to what training your doing, the budget you have and suggest shoes accordingly. Looking at your location I see you're in Romford, the nearest store to you suitable is probably:
