Have had to deal with shin splints a couple of times. What worked best for me was decreasing distance for a while, and to do some targeted exercises.

Had some recommendations from my brother, who’s a physiotherapist. Great to have one of those in the family when I run as much as I do.

First one is “Ankle Dorsiflexion with Resistance Band”. Second one is “Ankle Plantar Flexion with Resistance Band”. Lots of illustrations etc. First one I randomly found: https://katieegood.com/4-way-ankle-exercises/

Do one of them to exhaustion, then the other to exhaustion. Couple of times per day at least. Can do lots of stuff while you do the exercise, since it’s only one foot and you don’t have to count.

Those coasters look amazing. Kinda want them. Stuck with just the books because EU shipping and taxes were insane before Dragonsteel decided to cover for taxes.
