Road and visibility conditions deteriorate at this time of year, and with Holiday shopping and extra glasses of Holiday cheer, some drivers, who detest we runners to begin with, become even more dangerous.

For those of you that have experienced Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome (MTSS), more commonly referred to as “Shin Splits”, you are aware of how debilitating this condition can be. Initially the pain can impede performance, and ultimately lead to complete cessation from running.
MTSS is one of the most common conditions affecting long-distance runners. Studies have demonstrated that it accounts for almost 20% of all running injuries. It is a classified as an overuse syndrome, especially in runners and jumpers.
The pain associated with the condition occurs at the mid to lower part of the leg, either along the medial (middle) border of the shin bone (tibia), or right behind it. The pain can vary in intensity, depending on the severity of the condition, and the amount of overuse that has occurred.
