Not sure where to post this really.

My shin splints got worse recently. Got it earlier this year but then took a 3 months break from trying to run. Thought recovered already so tried to run but came back and became worse.

Problem is I'm 5 weeks out from enlistment. Can recover in time for PTP? Any tips to lessen the pain?

Later people think I keng. Report sick then do what in camp since I can't participate in running?

Anyway, not sure whether can fully recover for proper training. I preferably still want to be able to join the training with no problems.

You're running too fast or too long for your current fitness level.
Stretch daily and ice well if it hurts.

Because I thought you know all these.

take note of your running form, try not to land on the heels when running, shorten your strides if u need to, try to kneel like the japanese, it stretches ur shin muscles
