Answer 3

Talk to your coach about it!

I had them in track, and my coach told me to sit in the ground with my legs streches out infront of me, and have someone push down on your toes/ feet, and you pull against them. Then do the same, but with them pushing your toes towards you, and you push your feet towards them. After that, do the same thing but with them pushing your feet twoards eachother and you pushing away. Last, do the exact opposite.

To help the pain stop for a little while, rub you shin splints. Ice is good too!
