Well, I wish I would have done it LONG before all the issues would have popped up. Unfortunately though, only pain would have motivated me to PAY for the tips.I'm a sucky runner myself, maybe getting some tips and tricks from an expert would help I always thought this was the area of a personal trainer kind of person, but I guess a "real doctor" would really bring it all into perspective about what's REALLY going on and how to do what's best for your body.
Personal trainers are all about building muscles and core strength... but they can't look at your running form and analyze what you are doing wrong and how to correct it.
I truly hope that someday I can FLY when I run!

Have you tried Chi Running?
KSH, read your post and wanted to share that I just learned Chi running a few months ago. The foundation of Chi running is taken from Tai Chi. It promises to be an injury free way of running and so far delivers big time. I would highly recommend giving it a try.

sounds like you are off to a great start. finding answers and preventing problems sound much better than pushing through the pain. I look forward to seeing more updates.

Well, I am missing my appointment on Monday. My legs are sore from riding 130 miles this past weekend!
I will keep on the updates in the never future though!

KSH,
Yes Chi Running is similar to what you describe, landing midstike and opening your stride behind you instead of infront of you. It also incudes posture tips so you don't "spill your CHI" and concepts related to leaning foward and picking up your feet and leveraging gravity.
Long Bike ride! Congrats!
