Do you just put it on your lower legs after you run and the socks while you run?? I need more details please!

I have started and stopped this app several times and I am getting very FRUSTRATED! I get to week 2 (and I follow it with going every other day, wearing Reebok shoes for running) and I get shin splints! I could only run the first two intervals of week two, day two because it was getting more and more painful. This is the third or fourth time I have had gotten here and shin splints arrive!
 
I want to run, I crave it and look forward to it but the shin splints but a hold on it and I don't know what to do! I am trying to train for a Police Officer so I need to be able to run but this is just getting ridiculous!
 
What is it that I can do to stop the stupid cycle of starting and having to stop again, wait two weeks for the splints to heel and then start all over?! I'm not getting anywhere!

you don't have to be in pain when you are doing leg exercises. you can try using elastic bands and exercise with it and may be listen to your favorite music? 

Lots of air squats maybe. No weights. But, if you don't like the pain then you need to work on some mental toughness before you worry about anything else. Unless the pain is physically harming your body, if it's just uncomfortable because it's hard suck it up and do it.

TheDoc, you got this! We all got this! I just did my first day today. Did pretty good although my shins/calves are so very sore but I'm pumped I'll get thru this and reach my goal! I'm working towards joining the Military as an MP, something I have wanted to do for 13 years but was rejected 13 years ago for medical reasons. But since not having that specific problem or having to see a doctor about it for 7 years, I don't think it will hinder me again. Now, I just need to get my self confidence and fitness where it needs to be and with this ap and boxing, I hope I will get there to finally be able to get my dream job! Stay positive and if you ever find yourself in a slump, we will help get ya back on track! That goes for everyone! We are all awesome!
