I'm training myself not to toe off at all. My calves were sooooo over-stressed. I'm getting there....
Flexibility in my feet is/was a huge issue. When I started I couldn't even begin to get the head of my first MT on the ground with my ankles neutral. The stretches Knott recommended are helping, and so is rolling out the trigger points in my feet on a spiky stick or spiky ball. That's one thing I forgot to mention in the last post that has been really, really helpful.
Is your first toe knuckle closer to your body than the second toe knuckle?
Yep, I thought that was the definition of Morton's foot.
Good luck with your Marathon!!
Thank you! I'm feeling a little odd about it right now so the encouragement is welcome.
