  1. Runners Knee Return

    I would say that the tracking in my right knee does bring me in. My mobility on my right ankle is locked and less flexible than my left too- so that each time I land on the right it feels like there is more impact to my body than my left. I chocked that up to the discrepancy. Thank you for your...

  2. Runners Knee Return

    Th thank you, yes my patella does track incorrectly and has in the past. I’ve run into this issue a few times when I was shoed in supportive, brooks shoes and orthotics. But haven’t had much of a bout with it since doing the barefoot running. I’ve done some reading about athletes that do ultras...

  3. Runners Knee Return

    Hi BF community. I have a bit of a problem. I have transitioned to barefoot running and minimalist (mostly minimal in earth runner sandals) for the last 2 years. I've had a few injuries that mostly I can point to my overzealousness as the cause. I have been training for a half marathon, I...

  4. Insertional Achillies Tendon Issues

    Hi all My planter fasciosis cleared up nicely but I have developed a new problem. I ran a ton of hills in early march because I happen to take a trip to the green mountains in Vermont. Ever since I have been having this pain in the back of my heel, not on the bottom. It looks to be where the...

  5. PF pain going on 3.5 months

    You see, my hips, core and feet are strong. But I think I had some tightness that was getting in the way of properly loading my correct muscles that should have been working. I’ve been working on eccentrically loading my arches, calves and hamstrings. Rolling out the tender spots and resting in...

    I’m so happy to hear your story was so successful Gordon, and that your sandals have become history now! I definitely am pretty hard on myself (mentally and physically) and I jump into things. So, being able to run all summer with no pain in Lunas had me feeling like I had transitioned slowly...

  7. PF pain going on 3.5 months

    I used a night splint and it kinda helps but really I could stretch right before I get out of bed and it feels the same as if I used a night splint. I roll with a lacrosse ball right now and a knobby tube shaped roller. It hurts to roll my right foot on my heel but the pain subsides when I walk...

  8. PF pain going on 3.5 months

    Did you run at all during the healing process? I have the step thing and have done that and not seen very much improvement, I also have worked a lacrosse ball, tennis ball, and foam roller on the bottoms of my arches and it usually increases the pain in my arches. I anticipate that I upped my...

  9. PF pain going on 3.5 months

    Reply to first: I will try that, I started eccentrically loading my hamstrings today and my planterfasia and that seems to be having a positive effect. I can’t try running until tomorrow evening so I’ll try bending my knees more and see what happens. Reply to the second: I ran barefoot from...

  10. PF pain going on 3.5 months

    hi barefoot running community! I transitioned to barefoot running about a year ago after over a year long battle with hamstring tendinopothy. It was my saving grace and the only thing along with my (4th) physical therapist that helped me. I ran in Luna’s all summer in the mountains and came...
