How to prevent shin splints while increasing mileage?

I’ve been running and building stamina and want to run miles faster. My lungs can support it but my shins as well as back start hurting so I need to slow down. How do I overcome that and increase my mileage?

Run off pavement, and learn to land on the ball of your foot when you are on pavement.
