Running Problem

Right, I went for gait analysis tonight at a reputable running shop, the chap there made the same face as a mechanic makes before be breaks the news that your chassis is kackered and you need a lot of work.

By all accounts my toes are far too turned out when I run which translates to a lot of shear stress on my calf/ achilles and is causing my injuries.

It would appear that this isn't going to be an easy fix and at the moment he wants me to see the physio for a quick check then he thinks that some custom molded insoles, stretches and a concious change in my technique will all be on the cards, also I need to lay off the distance work which will bugger up my prep for the 5Ks I have planned

Expensive, time consuming and painful but that isn't going to put me off
