    Typically that is what happens when people do add a incline or go too fast for the shins to handle. You just have to pace yourself a little slower. However there is a exercise you can do to strengthen those muscles as well. By sitting on a bench, bed or chair place a dumbbell between your feet and and use your feet to pull the dumbbell up. This will help strengthen the muscle on your shin. Icing it helps as well to relieve the swelling. Over time your shins will get better they are just not ready right now for the incline or fast pace yet.
