Shin Cramps When Running: Causes, Relief & Prevention

Question
I have been running for about 7 mos. Lately I keep getting muscle stiffness/cramping in my shins. Its difficult to pull my feet up when Im running so I find myself feet slapping and my pace slowing down considerably. My muscles are stiff from where my feet bend to my knees. Any suggestions? THANK YOU!
