but I also tend to 'run through them'...and after a few gym sessions that pain disappears. or I'd have to run miles before the pain comes back, versus when I first start going to the gym and feel shin splints immediately

Hmm maybe not too bad then. I'll try and adjust my running a little bit but hopefully you're right. I'm just chucking in 20-30 minute runs 4 times a week for now but I remember the pain I got in when doing karate. Because of how bad it got, I couldn't bounce on my toes and with no real teaching in how to kick or anything without being on my toes, I ripped my knee to shreds not pivoting on a kick all because of the shin splints.
It's weird cause I've been inactive since maybe September a bit but back then I was able to bounce on my toes no problem.
