#Minimalist #shoes aren't just about strengthening the feet, stride stability partly depends on arch mobility. The width & flexibility of a minimalist shoe increases arch mobility which stabilizes the shin. This can really help you out with shin splints: lonowear.com/?ref=cedsholh
#Minimalist shoes better for Achilles b/c the tendon fully slackens during stance, allowing more energy stored in the tendon. This makes the tendon more spring-enabled which reduces muscular energy costs for the support & propulsive phases of #running - runforefoot.com/forefoot-run…
Barefoot running produces actual outcomes that are better for your shins vs cushioned running shoes or orthotics - runforefoot.com/causes-shin-… -

When you can feel the ground more fully with your feet, this gives you more top-notch control of your forefoot strike which doesn’t produce the spike in impact that heel strike runners produce -runforefoot.com/why-barefoot… -

The lack of mechanical interference from thick underfoot cushioning in a #barefoot shoe, or even better, when #running barefoot, makes the ankle work less at stabilizing the foot which was found to prevent peroneal tendon injury vs cushioned shoes: runforefoot.com/cushioned-ru…
Running barefoot trains your brain to run in a way that is better for your knees in every way!

Studies show #minimalist #shoes improve stability in people with a history of falls (Allen et al. 2023), relieves pain in older women with knee osteoarthritis (Trombini‐Souza et al. 2015) and improves balance in children (Quinlan et al. 2022): xeroshoes.com/go/Run_Forefoo…

As a runner, I get this weird happy feeling when I see other people running. Like… I don’t even know them, but I’m silently rooting for them. I can’t explain it.

Super fun 8 miler, enjoyed every mile even at -22C🥶. Loved seeing all the top-notched competition!

Every finish line is the beginning of what more you can achieve going forward.

Forefoot running enhances a specific stride parameter (stride angle) that helps reduce time spent braking, allowing more efficient accelerations & higher lactate thresholds vs heel strike running - runforefoot.com/forefoot-run…

From couch potato to ultramarathon runner.
10 years ago, my dad bod peaked...
I lived on junk food, beer, and Netflix.
Today, I've logged over 11,000 miles.
The only difference?
I decided to lace up my shoes and go for a run.
There's nothing special about me. You can do this too.
