Alternative to running?

Not sure but may be a cross trainer as it's relatively low impact compared to pounding the streets.

Stretch the legs theres some really good ones to prevent it happening.

If you got a place to do some swimming? In the summer I hit the local lake with a pair of fins. Works the legs and the core like a mother. Then when winter hits I join a local gym that has an indoor heated pool.

If you have proper freestyle technique it really challenges your endurance and cardio, plus it's low impact.

Big Skinny87 has a great solution. Even if you cant swim, get a float, or half 'boggie' board in front to keep your head up, and use those legs to propel you back and forth in that pool. Swimming is a great workout overall and can especially be used for leg development. Even trying to run in shallow water (up to your waist) is a hard exercise.

i never had shin splints but i do have a prob with my knees.i try and work a lot of circuit training into my routine now,but i do it using the tabata approach(google it if you dont know it).everything from bodyweight squats to burpees,skipping to cycling.its dynamite for cardio.i never run long distances now,i only use sprints,again using tabata,and im telling you its a killer.
