So earlier this year I decided I wanted to run track and field.
Great, I started running, and although Im still slow, Im getting there, however, as of late, everytime i run, I get a horrible pain in what feels like my tibia, where it seems the muscle would meet the bone.
Ive had previous issues where the bone itself hurt, but it was shrugged off as growing pains, that was before I played soccer, and didnt have this issue then, I have no idea what it is! Please help! I really want to run, but theres no way with this :(

They're called shin splints. If you don't take it easy, they can lead to stress fractures.

Be careful starting a new workout program, especially after a period of not working out.
