I've had my fair share of shin splints over the years. What's the one thing that finally worked for you to get rid of them? Was it rest, ice, compression, or something else? Help a runner out.

I've also had success with strengthening my ankles and calves. In addition, I found that switching to a more supportive shoe and running on softer surfaces helped alleviate the pain. Consistency is key, so make sure to stick to your routine.
