The Tibialis Anterior
The tibialis anterior muscles run down the front of the shins. They get built up when your toes point up instead of down. This motion is called dorsiflexion and it takes place when your leg is in front of your body right before your foot lands on the ground. When you first start running, this area can become sore. This soreness is known as shin splints and will go away as the muscles get stronger.
