Shin splints. I've got them myself.

Go to a podiatrist, see if they recommend orthotics, get orthotics.

Then

Try and land more often, when you run, on the balls of your feet as opposed to the heel. Do some leg strengthening exercises, like calf raises, steadily doing them from more of a height, and do some conditioning running if you can.
