  Is it common to get shin splints/something similar from worn out shoes, or is it marketing to get you the replace shoes quicker?

  I've not upped mileage but seem to have picked some calf pain up. Had my shoes about 9 months

  I normally run with only a watch.

  However, I'd like to start running home from work which would mean I have my phone, keys, pass and other assorted little bits.

  What are my options? Small bag? Some type of bum bag?

  Is anyone currently working in this industry at the moment?

  I'm thinking of doing a CELTA and trying to do some teaching in the UK.

  How do you guys deal with minor niggles/strains? My calf has been a little sore for a couple of weeks but running on it doesn't make it worse (although, it doesn't seem to be improving). Should I stop for a bit or just run through it?

  Or, is this a stupid question as it's entirely dependent on me? Advice would be welcome.
