Well since my last post anyway...about a week. Nothing new to report, which is a good thing. Easy runs, no post run issues in my calves, arches or achilles tendons. Not feeling a post run tightness, which tells me I'm not challenging myself at all, but I'm still conditioning...sigh...so that's OK.
Some of the issues I had last summer are mentioned in this Huffington Post article. Although I don't think I was running long enough to get tired and transition back to a heel strike, I do know that during the walking phases, I was hitting heel first, which without any padding naturally led to strain.
The lady in this picture was featured in a San Francisco Gate article last month...she's 61! If she can be a barefoot runner...
