welcome ihenman
first off .. shinsplints
are often related to overuse injuries and are very common for a person in your situation where you are making a comeback and then looking to increase quality
skipping the days for maybe 2 cycles is not a bad thing .. that is the easy 30 minute runs
also consider taking 20% off your long run time
with the onset of shinsplint problems consider monitoring your calf muscles as tight calf muscles lead quicker to shin problems
keep monitoring things and for now consider only doing 4 x 2k
then provide feedback thereafter, don't get to involved in the hype of having to train hard at the moment until you get past the shinsplint 'probability' because if you get the injury you have to treat it and rest is the main ingredient to start
hope this helps
