Subject: RE: 2 year running study using minimalist shoes Originally posted by gotbitten
While I do tend to believe orthotics are over prescribed but I have so many questions - how many miles has she been doing? First picture she is very tan, second very white - perhaps the change is because she was running 60 miles a week and now runs 6?
she got off the orthodics and went to the minimalist shoe all at once? maybe the orthodics were the problem, not the shoe.
was she doing a lot of jump roping or pogo sticking or high wire walking? you can't just post pics and say look what the difference in a shoe did
The article does describe the transition, first a transition from stabilizing running shoes (Asics motion control ) with orthotics, gradually removing the orthotics. Then once running completely without the orthotics a gradual transition to minimalist shoes, New Balance Minimus. And he does describe maintaining the distance only increasing the part run without orthotics or in minimalist shoes.
