 as I got it, shin splints occur

 1. if you switch bedding, for example during spring and autumn
 2. if you change technique or get new shoes
 3. if you perform intensive training on rough bedding
 4. if you run on your toes or with your feet pointing outwards
 5. if your feet are weak
 6. if you're using spiked shoes, that might be a reason enough
