jogging and motivation thread

thx for sharing.

my mind have been working past few days thinking back past week on my runs and shoes i used. I went on another shorter run yesterday with a pair of shoes with a cut out at the arch area (PEAK匹克 千层浪). It does help and had less issues on my metatarsal and talus area. This morning as i am walking now, i am not having discomfort on my talus and less issues on my metatarsal area.

Based on observation, the 3 pairs of shoes i was using past 2 weeks were Xiaonian, BMAI Jingtan Mix Plus & SAUCONY Endorphin Speed. All the shoes above do not have a cut out at the arch area. There is a possibility that the shoes above, with the arch support, tilted my balance leaning outwards and at slower paces, instead of landing on forefoot or midfoot, rear foot landing was more common which resulting to the significant wear and tear on my outer right heel in the Mix Plus outsole.

Also believe somehow my talus discomfort was a result of my right leg's reaction to rebalance or compensate the outwards tilting of my feet. But i am still trying to figure out how it actually works.

While i don't think its conclusive, my personal take is that at slower runs, i need to wear running shoes with a cut out at the arch area, and make sure i land more on my forefoot or midfoot at slow paces, especially long distances

What you mean by cut-out at the arch area, is that those shoes just have a lower arch support?

You normal foot or more towards flat foot? I also find some running shoes have too high an arch support, the most extreme i have ever tried is Skechers Speed Beast esp when it is brand new in store and so the foam havent really compressed down. Like totally cannot run in it when brand new type of feeling.

I dont have a totally flat feet type when i come out of the shower and i look at my wet prints, but now when i sit down kiao kar and see my inner side of the feet, the arch "pad" is barely visible, there is a small curve only nia.

Oh i see you mean the cut-out for the midsole ah.

Try this mantra. High freq, low volume for 3 months.
Stop low frequency with high volume.
What I mean is doing short runs like 1km to 3km everyday, is better for injuries rehab, than running 8km to 15km one session in every 3 days.

This practice is good for muscle and tendon rehab. But not bone fracture which I assumed he already consulted with the doctors that is not the case.

Anyone had the same issue with Qiaodan plaid 2?
The collar of the shoe which does not have cushion , rubbing against our ankle.
Due to this , I had stop using it for long distance run

I do not have this issue as I wear longer socks than most.

I ditched ankle socks and replace all socks to quarter length to permanently solve this rubbing issue. But I am an unker, so fashion sense is zero.

You do indoor zwift first, then see if catch bug.

Then catch bug already, no time to run as much, naturally will run at same distances as me.
