Hi All,
I've been running in vibrams since the end of 2015 and i've been very happy. The first month was full of sore calf muscles but that's nothing new, right?!
BUT, in the last month i've developed a sharp pain on the outside of my right ankle. To cut a long story short i have been to see a podiatrist who made it very clear that front strike running was bad for you and then attempted to sell me insoles (and told to buy some neutral shoes).
As i said i have been fine up until now so i'm a little dubious on the prejudice views of someone who wanted me to switch straight back to heel striking.
I am in Cheshire, Uk. Does anyone know of a technique coach or at least someone that could help me out without dismissing front striking totally?
