Went for a one-and-a-half-ish mile run just now as a sort of lunch break. it was good. so far no ache.
yesterday i began the hunt / investigation/ phase three eradication of the ache, by going and getting some gait analysis.
it was good, too. interesting and perhaps pseudo-scientific (depending on who you talk to) but good anyway.
saucony did it at a local running store. as it turned out i've been running in saucony shoes (cheapest available when i had a sudden need for new shoes as part one of ache eradication) and supposedly they plus the support insert i've been wearing are doing a good job at: get this
correcting my pronation
because i pronate now.
i have always had neutral medium-arch feet, but now apparently i am a pronator. and that could have been what started the whole mess anyway.
revelation. huh?
though saucony suggests that its a foot thing and to fix it with more supportive shoes (though they had only good things to say about my current set up) ...and nothing about alignment.
and other evidence suggests without proper alignment who the hell cares what you are wearing on your feet.
so.
take it all with a grain of maybe-but-maybe-not. for what that is worth.
