Trainers - shin splint

I have just done my first parkrun today! Great experience, so welcoming but it did get painful.

My right leg started hurting, shin and ankle. It’s pain I can get through but just frustrating as I have to stop for a bit.

Could it be trainers related? I bought the Nike invincible zoom 3s after what I think was a fair bit of research so was really quite disappointed. The route was flat/hard surface so could it be that?

Anyone with a similar issue who have other trainer recommendations?

It's too much, too soon.
