  2. Frustrated, just can't get it working

    Hello everyone, After a really frustrated period I am seeking advice. The spring has arrived, and running is upon me again. I have not managed to run much throughout the winter, but in mid march I started again. Things felt good and I managed to up my mileage (I was running with vivo trail...

    A little update: First of all, thank you so much SI! Based on the changes and latest development I am confident that you nailed the issue. As you said, my toes were very inactive and started pointing towards the other toes, not being straight. 1. Activate Toes 2. Use my girlfriends pedicure...
