Yes, as a new runner it is common to get shin splints. Beginners are most vulnerable to shin splints because they use legs  muscles that have not been stressed or pressured in the same wat before.  Shin splints develop  from excessive exercise  or an increase in training.The most commonly, the  activity is a high-intensity, repeatitive lower-leg workout. This is why shin splints are so common in new runners or new dancers.
