typically people like getting pumps, i like getting pumps... but i do not like getting extremely painful pumps in my lower outer calf area when i run.

just so ya'll know im training for the military, in march i leave to attempt to join special forces for the navy. so you can see the problem if after running 2 miles my ankles are so swollen i have "cankles". i need to be running a minimum 4-5 miles in morning 4-5 in evening. is there anything that i can do to help prevent the pumps or something to minimize them. i have to stop my running cause of the pain. any help or info would be awesome? this is actually the first time in my whole life i have ever had a problem with them as well...

i really doubt its shin splints... ive had shin splints when i was younger... but who know man
