[RC] shin splints - rides2far@xxxxxxxx

"Lateral shin splints (sometimes called anterior shin splints) are 
usually due to overuse and inflammation of the anterior tibialis 
muscle and the muscle compartment in the front of the leg, along the 
outside front of your shin. > potentially have the same problem if you walked 
or ran briskly 

OK, I get these *sometimes* and Josie's had a real problem with them in 
competition. She's been walking a lot on the treadmill lately; is that good or 
bad? Would walking on the treadmill, especially a slope gradually condition the 
muscles so she'd be less likely to have the problem during competition?

The worst case I ever got was in Vermont doing 100 miles on those ski slopes. 
It seemed that the downhills were what got me.
