Shin Splint Relief

If you want to do track, do these exercises and stretches every day to prevent having shin splints: Exercises
1) Lean with your back against the wall with your feet about a foot length away from the wall. Pull your toes up off the floor as far as you can. Do this until it burns, then rest and stretch. 
2) Use the same position, but once your toes are up, let them drop and catch them before they hit the floor. Do this until it burns. Stretches
1) Regular calf stretch. You should feel this up high on your calf. A slant board works best, but adjust as needed. Do three 30-second repetitions. 2) Bent knee calf stretch. Same foot position (foot flat) but bend the knee until a stretch is felt. You should feel this much lower on the calf. Do three 30-second repetitions.
