I had them exactly as this description and tried to run through it. biiiiiiiig mistake. before long it was pain all the time and I couldn't walk without limping for about 6 weeks and couldn't run for 6 months. and even now years later I can't run more than about 3 or 4 times a week or they come back. sigh.
think there was an article in RW a couple of months ago about how to tell the diff between different injuries and what to do....
I used to skip a lot as part of my martial arts training and it gave me terrible shin splints in the end so i stopped. So in answer to your question, yes - you probably will feel pain if you 'hop'.
Well, you could have asked me. Not gonna tell you how to fix them now. I can show you if you have them though (frequent shin splinters know what comes next!!! LOL)

shin splints is kind of a catch all term that encompasses more or less any shin pain.......
so how do i know when i should stop and rest or just carry on?
see i'm so stupid i would just put up with the pain and run anyway, then probably wish i hadnt later!
however if i can run with a pain surely it cant be that bad IMHO
