Hey guys,

Just been having a couple problems with my shins cramping up. I was wondering how do I find out if I am over-pro-nating? I wana get the right shoes for running.

The best way to work that out is if you visit a podiatrist. Trust me, thats you best bet to get over any leg pains/ problems.

Firstly its excessive pronation (or supination) not pronouncing.and secondly medial tibial pain syndrome (shin splints) can be related to a number of factors; rapid increase in training intensity, poor biomechanics, weak musculature and extremely hard surfaces (concrete, tar) go see a physio or biokineticist first and they will refer you to a podiatrist if you need one! treatment: relative rest,R.I.C.E, correct program design, muscular strengthening.

In my experience I would never go pro-nonce-ing, that shit is best left to the experts!

Pissed again soz

Okay so what kind of muscular strengthing exercises can I do? (for my shins)

As said visit an expert.

But an easy way to check is to look at a pair of shoes you've had for along time from the back and see if the sides have been pushed inwards or outwards.

Best thingtodois locateyour nearest running/triathlon shop; they can look at your feet and advise as to the right sort of shoes. If the problem persists seek expert advice, best try and deal with the injury now.

I just had a bit of a run did 5 mins at 16km's hour on treadmill then went off and did a cycling class then went back to it and my shin cramped up and it absolutely cained!.. It really hurt.

if you go to a running shop like the sweatshop they will get you to run and they will watch you. I got some shoes for £75 for an over pronator like myself and it has helped a little, feels alot better.
