So here I am...... Started running about 2 years ago and from the off! It was trouble. First IT trouble then plagued with shin splints,( I'm very flat footed) had a couple of pairs of running shoes fitted, orthotics, straps, foam rollers and countless trips to the physio.
Just ran my first mud run 3 weeks ago and finished with really sore shins. Someone had mentioned barefoot/ minimalist running. So I've read a little and bought my first pair of minimalist running shoes which would be "inov8 f-lite 195". Good or bad choice???? I dont know. Wearing them all the time and if I'm not wearing them I'm walking around in my bare feet. ( I get some funny looks when I'm walking the streets) hopefully goin to start running this new method in a week or two.
If anyone has any hints or tips on the transistioning, I would love to hear them.
