Fall Running Thread

[emily_in_nc]

I didn't have any trouble, but I'd been wearing Lems (minimal shoes) for everything except running for at least a year before I got my first pair of Altras, so my ankles were already used to full flexion.

I might be okay, then. I never wear anything with a heel (haven't for years) and live in flat flip-flops here. And in yoga, we do lots and lots of calf stretching. I am quite flexible there, no problem with downward dog or any of the other moves requiring full flexion.

I did a little research and saw that there are some shoes that have 4-6mm drop (my current shoes have 11mm, I also discovered), so something in the moderate range but not zero drop might be a good compromise when it's time to buy my next pair of running shoes. I have narrow feet so always have a bit of trouble finding shoes that work well for me. Current shoe is Asics GT-2000.

Thanks!
