It’s all in the hips, writes Jonathan Beverly, good form starts with the pelvis and the glutes. He also writes about the importance of cadence and posture for improving form. I’ve been trying to overcome posterior shin splints for a while now, and the very first time I tried to make these changes to my form, I felt significantly more comfortable. Toe raises and other exercises have also proven quite useful, as have a number of discussions on /r/running and /r/fitness (search for shin splints).
More generally, it’s important to know how to warm up, to be aware of useful stretches and yoga exercises for runners, and exercises for hip flexors and glute strength. Jonathan Savage maintains an extensive wiki, including an interesting article about how often to run and lots of product reviews including a huge number of running shoes.
