I have been running regularly for the last 12 years. I used to run everyday but lately have cut back to about 4-5 days a week beacuse I just cant find the time (personally I blame Lush, LOL). At first I had a lot of problem with shin splints but found I was not stretching properly before my runs. Over time by talking with other runners I have altered my foot strike position to one that is more comfortablke for me also. Most people will naturally strike their heel first but this puts a lot of stress on the knees over time.
I like to vary where I run. Sometimes I run on street, other times on dirt trails in local parks and other times on the track at our local highschool. I was told once that varying the type of surface you run on is good but not sure if that is fact or myth. I also vary the distances. One day I may run 2 miles and the next day 4 but its usually between 2-5 miles.
Combining your running with weight training as well as other forms of cardio exercises is a great way to stay fit.
As many have already said, the most important things to be sure of is that you stretch before running (or doing any type of exercise) and that you have good running shoes that give proper support to your feet.
Happy Running!!
