I found mine were always worse when I ran on my toes. Make sure that you are smoothly going from heel to toe when you run. Focus on a smooth transition. Good shoes also help. I had a pair of New Balance that were a bit too big for me and thats what really started my shin splints. I bought a pair of Asics last year and I love them. Paid around $150 cdn but I have noticed a big difference. A good stretch before you go out helps and be sure to ice your shins if they hurt when you get home.
