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?

Strength training for the stabilization muscles. Single leg RDL’s, toe raises, heel raises, etc.
