#86 - Can changing gait reduce running injuries with Dr Bryan Heiderscheit

[@till_57]

I really appreciate what you are doing with this channel. It is good to hear from those that actually do research.

Great to hear.

22:03 I could relate perfectly to this point, switching to a more cushioned shoe from one with little to no cushion. Last Sunday I got a new shoe, and it happened to be my long run day, so I took it out for a spin. Completed it fine, but ended up with a nagging ache in my medial arch of the right foot (which still persists as I am typing 🤣). So, consider this lesson learned for me.

Oops. Yes, definitely need to take time to slowly switch shoes etc. In the podcast episode with Rasmus Østergaard Nielsen he talked a lot about the need to make very gradual changes with running. Including changing shoes. Good luck with it.

I remember watching a presentation by Jeff Galloway. People certainly did get injured during the 70s running boom. That’s why he came up with run walk. But it’s not like run walk was anything new because scout pace was around before that. Scout pace was almost certainly copied from somewhere else. There’s nothing new under the sun as the saying goes.

I think it's a multi-variable calculus problem that will someday be simulated by computers when the adaptation process is better understood.
