I suppose this used to be The Training Station and Run are now different. And they should be! I wrote this for The Training Station -- but it's mostly about Run...
I was running about 8-13 miles a day at a 6:45 pace. Then I broke my leg. I was diagnosed with chronic pain.
I had a gait analysis. But then, I went to a running store where a college kid was expected to interpret the results. Or... watch me walk.
Turns out, I ended up with $500 custom orthotics, $200 running shoes that caused MORE pain.
Somehow, I stumbled upon Phil at The Training Station. He's, like, an Olympian. But for real.
Gait Analysis at a University or hospital is great but they don't know or sell shoes. Phil does a real gait analysis AND knows his sneakers. I'm so thankful I found this place. I even called him a few weeks later to ask about a new pain.
Seven miles last night. No pain at all. Running shoes at the same price as Footlocker.
