Despite never having Shin Splints whilst i ran for 7+ years i have developed some bad pain in my right shin. (anterior about 1/4 way up lower leg). Fortunately got diagnosed by 2 Dr’s … who thankfully ruled out tendon complications BUT i was wondering if anyone on here had suffered similar problems…

yes i found i could power through a little … but taking a few days off now did it just disappear eventually ? keeping my fingers crossed … !!

No still bothered by it. Last week of SSB MV next week. Hope the lower intensity will make it disappear. I fear it will be even worse once I start SSB MV2

bizarrely that’s where mine struck! but i have done SBB all the way through x 2 with no issues before so i can’t work out where i’ve gone wrong!

First though would be to check cleat fore-aft position and associated saddle height.

thanks chad - weird thing is nothing has changed in my set up for months and had no probs - i guess must be overtraining … plus tight calves :frowning: v frustrating especially as its such a ‘running’ injury haha

Are you doing any strength training along with the SSB MV1? I had 3 weeks off the bike after a crash (thankfully minor) a couple months ago, and when I started training again my lower knee flared up (I’ve had Osgood Schlatter’s and shin splints since high school). Having dealt with this for years, …

v interesting ! as i have just started reintroducing heavy lifting similar to what happened to you! deadlift / single leg squat etc … so that is v telling … i am taking 4 days off now … can i ask you - did you just do recovery rides or did you find some easy aerobic (pettit/baxter) or sweet spot s…

It was early in SSB MV1, and the SS sessions were still okay for me so I just stuck with the plan. Hope this recovery period works out for you :+1:t5:

I find that my riding position indoors can be different from my outdoor position - so it’s worth checking in with your bike fitter about the problem. We just don’t spend as much time moving the bike and getting up and out of the saddle or doing a lot of other natural outdoor motions when doing train…

Have had the same problem this year. Would love to find an answer. I power through it as it is not to bad while riding but really bothers me when finished.
