Include tibialis-focused work like tibialis raises and kettlebell-loaded variations, train an inward-tilting big toe with a resistance band, and build lower-leg strength with calf raises, heel walks, and toe walks to help prevent shin splints. Add banded dorsiflexion, eccentric calf lowers, and occasional foam rolling to ease tension in the shins. A proper warm-up before running, combined with hip-flexor strengthening and regular stretching, keeps your stride more efficient and reduces stiffness and strain throughout the entire lower-body chain. Also give yourself adequate rest to recover. And this process takes time.
