Shin splints are often caused by a muscle imbalance between the front and back of the lower leg.
One exercise that may help you is to stand on the edge of a stair, or other platform, with your heels on the edge of the stair and your toes hanging over. Now press your toes down as far as you can and then lift them as high as you can. Do this until you are fatigued, several times per week.
