The Thread About Running....
I have done a fair bit of running in the past and still do im trying to cut back a bit on it now though and when I do run do a more interval style of sprint/jog. In the past I have completed the Gold Coast half marathon 21.1km, The Bridge to Brisbane still when it was 12km, Jetty to Jetty 10km run.

I can remember roughly 5 years ago, I decided out of the blue to get out and go for a run.
I hadn't done any form of sustained exercise at all for prob more than 10 years.
It didn't go so well.
Maybe after 1km or so my fuarrrrrrrrken left ass muscle siezed up horribly, I ground to a sudden halt.....limped off the footpath, moved to the side and had to sit down on the kerbside gutter for 5-10 minutes till my ass recovered.
True story.
Muahahahahahaha
U giddy?

@Bazza20 and @DKD ... LOL ... you'd feature strongly in a book on "the pitfalls of running"
@Boxing23 ... wow, kudos!!
Well, i went for my first run in 4 months yesterday and I had a ball, plus I seem to be totally fine this morning. No calf pain, nothing.
*Born to Run* and maybe *Born to run with a forefoot strike*
Running is sometimes in the genes...I have 3 champ sprinters in my family and the rest of my mum's family are all athletic in a track and field kinda way so ...
Anyone wanting to change their running strike and maybe heading towards minimalist footwear for running...please take care. You should allow yourself up to a year of progessively getting to the stage of running any kind of distance "barefoot".
Walk, run a bit, walk, run a bit then gradually progess the amount of run vs walk.
lol G ... ass cramp ...

I run in minimus shoes with a forefoot strike, burns the calves when you first start but its surprisingly easier on the ankles and knees once you get use to it.

I actually found no real issues with the calves when I started but it might be because I always had trouble with the heel strike action (and got a couple of nasty ankle and hip injuries with that too).
Heel strike never felt comfortable for me and I struggled with my running form.
Forefoot ... felt like coming home
Much easier on ankles, knees and the old ITB ... no ITB pain now woohoo!
Plus it's faster.

Run with proper form. Same as any other exercise, do it wrong and it hurts.

Calf soreness is from not letting your heels 'kiss' the ground on each step. As you land & take off on forefoot your calf muscle has no choice but to stay tensed the whole time. If your heel 'kisses' the ground, it releases the calf.

yeah all good now was just the first few weeks getting use to the new running style and flat shoes.
not to mention running with flat shoes your getting more calf stretch before your heel "kisses" the ground.

that's weird because they've been shown to have no benefit whatsoever. In fact, a couple of companies have been forced to remove most of the claims associated with them. Sure it's not just the fact that you do killer workouts and that's the cause of all the delicious burn??
I've never tried them...looking to perservere with my minimalist shoes for everthing. I love wearing the vibrams in the gym, but haven't run in them yet.
I have the Nike Lunarglide 3's. I wear them everywhere in the gym, running etc. I spend pretty much all day in them and have clocked up a fair few k's in them and have had them for over 6 months and no signs of wear and tear yet they are great. There super light and really comfortable. Probably sit a little to high for some of the power lifters here who would prefer a flatter sole. Everybody raves on about the Nike Free run but they are crap. They have a really soft sole and squish really easy and are only good for running in up to 2-3 times per week. I highly recommend the lunarglide's for anybody looking for a good all round shoe.

I have found that you really have to push the full ROM of the sole if the shoe, other wise you are just walking on the peak which does nothing. The soles are slighty spongey and absorb alot of the shock from the road when running. If people used them right I think they will feel a difference. However my legs are always in some degree of fatigue!
