Lower leg pain while running

2017-09-25 11:23:39
I've been running on and off for a couple of years now but for last few months I've started to get an acute pain on the lower right leg after a few kms of running. I'm assuming it is shin splint or fatigue fracture but not very sure. The pain is not constant and only happens when I do longer runs (i.e more than 2 kms).
