Does anyone have any advice on how to avoid shin splints and to recover from a run faster?

It's not just cardiovascular conditioning that improves when you run, it's also the toughness of your muscles and connective tissues. In fact that tends to take longer to happen than endurance. Along the same lines, to protect your knees you should be doing some strengthening exercises for the muscles surrounding your knees, primarily the quadriceps. Try doing leg extensions and/or squats and lunges.
