Michael Vasaturo serves as chief financial officer of New Haven Terminal in Connecticut, where he maintains responsibility for financial aspects of operations. In his free time, Mike Vasaturo enjoys running and swimming. Running is one of the best forms of exercise—but many runners eventually suffer from painful shin splints. Known in the medical world as medial tibial stress syndrome, shin splints typically occur when a runner increases his or her mileage too quickly. Shin splints are easy enough to identify. They either show up as a dull ache or a sharp stabbing sensation in the lower leg and can occur in one or both shins. Once runners have determined they have shin splints, they should stop running for the meantime while also icing the shin. Most runners cross-train during this time, allowing their shins to heal while still getting a workout. To avoid shin splints altogether, runners are advised to increase their mileage by no more than 10 percent each week. Furthermore, they should invest in solid running shoes. Those who are prone to shin splints should stretch their calves and Achilles regularly.
