Someone commented on a race photo and told me I should go to a good form class. So I did. They videotaped us running in our shoes (my extra support Asics) and then barefoot. I went home and tried it out using the techniques given. For the first time, my knee HURT. My jaw even felt jarred. My rolling heel to toe gait became a landed gait. The next day hurt so bad I went to sports doc. He said my IT band and knee tendons were the culprit and to not try changing anything at this time. <br /><br />Three months later I still have these knee/band issues so I am guessing that their appearing the day I tried midsole was a coincidence.<br /><br />I do try to midsole on occassion and know I do during my 100% strides on track nights.<br /><br />But, lately I have been having arch pain like what you get after wearing high stiletto heels for too many hours.<br /><br />I went to the local running store and they did a gait analysis/video and said I was in a shoe MUCH to supportive and built in the arch for my foot. I only needed "mid" support. Not max support.<br /><br />After trying on every model, the Saucony Progrid 5's were the ones I took home. Compared to my former shoes, the Progrid 5's felt like bedroom slippers. So comfie!!!!<br /><br />These shoes cured my painful arch woes. I am still heel striking, but I am also getting more midsole striking in. Taking it slow as changing things up has made me more aware of my lower legs. My knee/IT band issue is still here, but even with my increasing miles it isn't as bad as it was before I switched shoes.<br /><br />I LOVE my Progrid 5's.Just Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12652780428509371394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-79029818500719623332012-03-01T13:05:40.351-07:002012-03-01T13:05:40.351-07:00Just purchased a pair of Saucony progrid guide 5 s...Just purchased a pair of Saucony progrid guide 5 s and definitely feel my foot striking mid sole.

When I was trying on shoes at the very reputable running store in town, I think I tried 10 more minimal shoes before the guy said, "you might like these" - they look BEHEMOTH next to those other minimal shoes but they felt so much better.

Bc of the impact, your heel will not be able to handle heel-strike, so you automatically change to a more mid-foot/forefoot strike. Do a couple of laps like that, then put the shoes back on and see if you can mimic your form, then back to barefoot and so on. Or get the Vibram Five Fingers, and incorporate some runs with them (transition VERY VERY VERY slowly, even if you feel fine, don't do more than a quarter mile the first few times). They also help you feel the impact on the heel, changing your form.Carla Runs The Worldhttp://www.carlarunstheworld.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-86874147531174074602011-11-18T23:13:02.773-07:002011-11-18T23:13:02.773-07:00I used to run in traditional, padded Nike and Adid...I used to run in traditional, padded Nike and Adidas running shoes and my shin splints were horrible by Friday on just four days of running less than a 5K per day, so I was probably a heel striker. But I thought that was what I was supposed to be going for, a padded shoe that "helped" my high arches and "preserved" my knees by absorbing the shock. <br /><br />Then I listened to Born to Run and what he said about weakening an arch by supporting it too much made a lot of sense. Figuring I had nothing to lose, I first started focusing on running more "mid-foot to forefoot, upright, foot landing under my body" and found this helped a great deal, but it was still pretty easy to forget and pound down on my heels in padded shoes. For a long while, I practically forced myself to run (much more slowly than usual) on tiptoes, to sort of drive it home. Yes, my calves were more tired for some time, but I adjusted. <br /><br />Eventually, I bought a pair of Nike Frees and wore them once a week, then twice a week, then every other run, and finally worked up to wearing them all the time. When I finally wore the soles off, I had to revert to wearing some old running shoes until I could swing by the local sporting goods store and buy new ones. By this time, I had transitioned from a four day a week runner to a five day a week runner and from 15 mile weeks to 22 to 26 mile weeks.<br /><br />A single run in the old padded Nikes felt awkward, like running in high heels, they felt oddly heavy and gave me a blister in a spot where I "never" get blisters, and my shins were angry at me. And these were shoes I loved running in less than a year before. <br /><br />I picked up a newer pair of Frees *and* a pair of the New Balance Minimus that afternoon and I alternate days in them. Love them both. Both shoes are light, durable and extremely comfortable. Frees are a pretty good transition shoe thanks to the soft padding. The Minimus is slightly more rigid and less padded, so I'm guessing they'll probably last longer than the Frees, with their very, very soft outsole. They almost feel more like a foam-padded slipper. <br /><br />I'm never going to go Vibram or barefoot, (I run outside. I want actual shoes between me and the pavement. And what might be on the pavement. The shoes I have are minimal enough for me.) but I'm pretty happy with these minimalist shoes. My transition was sensible and gradual enough that it wasn't really painful. <br /><br />Another great benefit besides the banished "wrecked shins" feeling?

And I'd love a "flater" shoe from them. I have not look into minimual shoes because I simply take my shoes off. With this year being trail and distance focused I have done little to experiment with shoes. Although after this weekend my shoes will need replacing so looking at a shorter raise would be something I could be interested in. Just tell them to send them my way, any color will do! ;-)Shellyrm ~ just a country runnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03822262051285512641noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-67732024733611730182011-11-18T13:04:55.001-07:002011-11-18T13:04:55.001-07:00I was a huge heel striker as well, unnntttillll I ...I was a huge heel striker as well, unnntttillll I switched to the 5 fingers.

Just prior to contact you shift a bit forward from the heel. What I would say is a bigger problem and a possible contributor to some of your injuries is over striding. Rather than worrying about changing you foot strike, focus on landing more under your body than way out in front.<br /><br />A shoe isn't going to magically change your foot strike overnight. People switch to vibrams or other similar shoes thinking it will but some still land on the back of their heel. Many people just naturally have a heel strike and may never be able to adapt fully to midfoot. There are even some elites who heel strike.Kellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13115376596852603240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-80531186425752440222011-11-18T12:40:24.494-07:002011-11-18T12:40:24.494-07:00I apparently have a weird stride.

I think I have a pair of the New Balance 1080s too. But since I'm a mid-foot striker anyway, I'm not sure if I'm going to change my everyday trainers (1080s and 890s) for something with a smaller heel-toe drop.Laurenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07870524371068135058noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433152851906592254.post-74248011983268970592011-11-18T10:43:47.329-07:002011-11-18T10:43:47.329-07:00I love the Saucony Pergrines because I have such a...I love the Saucony Pergrines because I have such a wide foot (matches my ass) and so many other running shoes that are sleek, end up pinching off my blood supply to my feet.

I normally run in stability shoes (Asics 2100 series or Mizuno Inspries), but I switched to the Brooks Ghost. I felt like the lighter shoe and less posting really helped me get in tune with my stride.<br /><br />My issue is that I am a slight heel-striker, but I already have a naturally high cadence. Without trying to up my turnover, I still run at about 90 beats/min for each foot. If I exaggerate the forefoot/midfoot strike, I can give myself a pretty ouch-tastic case of extensor tendonitis on my typically non-injured side. Harumph.<br /><br />My solution is to work heavily on the midfoot strike during shorter, faster runs and just concentrate on keeping decent form during my long runs.
