Fall Running Thread

[OakLeaf]

I get a lot of benefit from focusing on the same foot placement cues that we get in yoga, while I'm running. Four corners of the feet (or three, whichever way you're used to - though for me, thinking four corners sets up better forefoot-to-hindfoot alignment rather than just letting the heel point however), suck in the arches, second toe straight ahead. It's not easy for me, trying to bring studio cueing to 90 spm, but I think that's a lot of what's helped me avoid and heal from injuries.

And when all else fails, kinesio tape in a simple wishbone pattern - I'll try to find a link to how I tape mine.

ETA - this isn't exactly how I do mine, but pretty close. I would emphasize, keep the ankle in full flexion and in good alignment (not pronated or supinated) while applying it, zero stretch, and definitely round off the corners at the proximal ends too (closest to the knee), those are the ends that start coming off first.
