sounds like shin splints to me. I get them all the time. Ice them for about twenty minutes a night and immediately after jogging, tap your foot on the ground for about five minutes. It doesn't feel like it's doing a lot to start but then after about a minute, it'll start to burn. Do it for both legs and it should stretch out your shins and reduce shin splints.

Hi Jaz, you really ought to wear a shin support of some kind. support bandage of some description. I had the same problem years ago, which was that the fluid in my shins dried up through continual usage and this causes bone friction. The pain can be excrutiating. Though with proper care and attention it will get better over time. So get advice from your club or visit your GP.
Also take care of the back and see that you are wearing the correct trainers for jogging. As if you didn't already know this.
All the best and take care of those shins.

shin splints. Caused by the muscle pulling away from the shin bone (i.e. tearing). The space is then filled by bone - have a feel down your shin and you will feel little ridges. Shin splints are not an inevitable side effect of jogging - go see a podiatrist (foot expert) who can recommend insoles for your trainers - you take out the ones they come with, and put the new ones in - you may either take to them straight away, o it may take a little time; either way you will eventually feel like you're walking on air.

Hi JAZ , same thing happened to me a few years ago . my problem was that i had only just started to go jogging and my shin`s were not up to it . The remedy for me was to jog on soft ground for a few month`s to build up the strength in my shin`s. Also i bought a top quality pair of asics trainer`s ( they r expensive but worth their weight in gold ) . i now jog for 2 hours every 2nd night and have done so for the last 2 years . GOOD LUCK

Mopst Athletes have this problem they are called shin splints where it sends a horrible pain down the middle of your shins after exercise! The best treatment is Iceing them down after running and then taking a hot bath to relax them!

Jogging is quite high impact, perhaps you should try doing hill sprints instead.
Find a hill around 30 degrees
Sprint up it as hard as you can about 50 metres
Walk down - this is your rest time
The moment you get to the bottom sprint up again
Repeat about 5 times. Much lower impact, is a great CV part to a workout.

shin splits, you should stop for at least 1-3 weeks, and wrap them up with an ace bandage if you have to run and at least for a week

It's because you dont have enough cushining in your shoes. Go to your local athletic store and ask for shoe inserts. Runners world magazine recomends Spenco inserts. I've tried them and found them to be great for me. Good luck

This could be due to the type of trainers you use, whether they are tied too tight or not, but I'm not entirely sure. Try to experiment.
