[QUOTE="97desertCobra, post: 13239047, member: 53488"] I concur with 1, shitty running shoes. 2, going from 0 miles a week to however many you are doing. Every person runs differently and the way you pronate will vary greatly from person to person. For example, if you happen to be wearing a shoe designed for over pronation when you are a neutral runner then you will most likely injure yourself. Sometimes having the right shoe for you doesn't solve the problem completely either. I'm a neutral runner but I also use custom insoles for my running shoes. Before I had the insoles I was running 35-40 miles a week and constantly battling shin splints. Once I got the custom insoles my shin splints went away and I was able to increase my weekly mileage to 40-50 without issue. That leads to #2. You have to ease into running, especially on compact surfaces like concrete and asphalt. Try to avoid concrete as much as possible, asphalt is a better alternative but not by a lot. However there is a noticeable difference when you are running on concrete then transition to asphalt in the middle of a run. Running on concrete at times might be completely unavoidable (as it is for me) but if you slowly build your weekly mileage and take rest weeks every now and then (reduced mileage weeks) your body will adjust to the surfaces and your injuries will start to go away.
