they say hard surfaces such as concrete should be avoided. so i would imagine that means running on actual ground/dirt should prevent it.

Terrain has little to do with it, though FLAT will keep the ankle stable and keep from aggravating the condition. The real concern is what kind of SHOES you wear.

I would have to agree with the first response, it is more than likely your running shoe vs. the terrain.

I had shin splints when I ran track. Coach told me to get so Dr. SCholls inserts for my shoes to support my arch and they helped immensely

try walking backwards a bit and doing heel ups to strengthen and stretch your shins. My brother had that once

maybe you should try something that has less impact on your legs, like bicycling or swimming..
but if you must run, then the beach sand is the softest.. go run down at the beach..

it could be the shoe your running in try a different running shoe. and try to stay on the same type of surface whenever you run.

grass, or dirt. hard surfaces like clay and asfalt are too hard and can cause shinsplints. also remember to stretch your legs before you run and strech them after too.
Good luck bud!
