Feel the long bone on the inside of your leg below your knee.

That’s your shin bone (or tibia) – the main bone of your lower leg that runs along the inside of your leg, linking your knee to your foot.

The fibula is the smaller of the two long bones in your lower leg, and runs from your knee to the ankle along the outside of your lower leg. It supports your ankle.

Heard of shin splints – the pain around your shin bone? These are one of the most common causes of sport injuries and can happen when you don’t train properly.
