Shin splints? This shyt started happening to me like a week ago when I changed up my running routine. It's died down a bit but it was murder at first. I'm always afraid to look shyt like this up too.
fr this shyt no joke imma keep it up tho, i'll probably cut my running distance in half and double my biking and stair climbing. crazy thing is i did soccer in highscool and we ran constantly everyday, cardio was godly

A kinesiologist worth his mettle would tell you that a treadmill is more than appropriate in place of running outside. The problem comes from the form that a lot of people use when running a treadmill, which puts too much stress on knees normally and setting the correct grade to simulate the effect of running outside. Steps and treadmill are typically fine for cardio warm ups.
:ehh:

Definitely sounds like shin splints try changing your footwear to something that properly supports your feet and ankles, I had them for a while because I was playing pick up in a pair of airmax's that had basically no support. Changed them and I'm good so far.
