I have recently been told that celery can help in the prevention and healing of shinsplints and such.?

Depending on how far you can run now and what kinds of workout you've deen doing (speed & distance)...I'd try the 5k schedule below. If it looks too aggresive, take a few weeks to build up to 10-15 miles per week. Hope that helps.
