Common Runner Foot Problems & Solutions | Weak Arches, Bruised Bones, Flat Feet, Barefoot Running

Date: 2018-06-16

Today I wanted to talk about some common running-related injuries such as: bruised bones, sesamoiditis, collapsed arches, flat feet,  & plantar fasciitis. In the video I discuss the conditions and potential ways to address the underlying causes for them. I provide some specific exercises to strengthen the arch of the feet and a brief training plan/suggestion for how (& why) you might want to incorporate small amounts of barefoot running into your training plan.

Also I go on a few tangents about: bone calcification showing up on x-rays, tendon adaptations, ACL injuries, & a bug flies into my eye.

I WAS WRONG! BAREFOOT RUNNING CAN HELP REDUCE IMPACT FORCE IF YOU DO IT CORRECTLY. Still do NOT recommend a complete transition to it though. At all.

[1] All loading variables of interest were significantly reduced from the shod to instructed BF condition.
