What is your height, weight.
I'm about 5'5", and somewhere between 145 and 150 pounds. I have a little extra around the middle, but I'm not especially overweight.

Also - whats your chest size.
I have a thick ribcage. If I had to give you an idea of my body type, I'd say I have a similar build to Lawrence Fishburne (think of the Matrix movies), except only 5'5". Little thick on the upper body, thin on the lower body.

have you tried replacing your sneakers??
Just bought some new Asics running shoes after the shin splints acted up. The shoes I was using previously were year-old casual walking style New Balance. The new shoes feel a lot better

just try running with a shorter stride
I'll give that a try. I also tried doing some exercises to strengthen my dorsiflexors, and I think they helped a little. Should I be doing something like a dorsiflexor exercise every day, or only every couple of days (like you would a normal musclebuilding activity)?

Thanks for the advice everyone! It's much appreciated.
