Forefoot Running and Soleus Pain

[@huichen6461]

The voice was killing me

[@somefuckstolemynick]

That’s pretty rude

[@Unobjectabdul]

Agree... yet she is marvelous

[@Unobjectabdul]

Maybe runing so much is not good for the throat??

[@imateapot51]

No reason to be mean people. I am sure we all have voices that would make us radio stars if we got the chance. I was forced to take voice lessons in college when I had an injured hand and could not play Piano (yes music major). So at my first and only voice lesson, she said my voice is not bad (nice way to say terrible) but I really need to work on my ear. I told her I had perfect pitch. She said you certainly do not. I walked behind her piano and said hit some notes. As she hit them I named what she hit. She then said wow we have to work on something but I have no idea what it is.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Well said (except from the totally unrelated personal story ;-) )

[@cmessi]

Thank you. Never had pain in the soleus. I started forefoot running, so now I know why I have pain there.

[@carlquinn73]

Did it eventually go away

[@cmessi]

@@carlquinn73 Yes, most pains go away.

[@vide0gameCaster]

Though I was playing the video at 0.75x speed.

[@Tom-kp8hh]

This was very informative, thank you. I really hope this pain subsides because the rest of my body feels relatively okay when running it’s just my soleus muscles that scream with every stride 😂

[@rickcharles6065]

Great information! Just made the switch to forefoot striking and had all sorts of pain in the soleus for awhile. Just keep training and don’t overtrain. Added in some speed work/sprints to further condition the muscle to engage. Thanks for the great video.

[@banterwithbawden5444]

This was extremely helpful!!!!!! Thank you

[@InspiredByBrad]

Love your channel! A couple of years ago I made the mistake of sprinting in barefoot shoes across a soccer field that had many dips and bumps hidden under the grass. As a new barefoot runner, this shock loaded and badly strained my soleus muscles. Hopefully this comment might prevent someone from making the same mistake.

[@MichaelLoweAttorney]

For me, it has been a gradual and unintentional process of change over the last 18 months. Your video is consistent with my experience over the last 18 months as a newish runner. As I get stronger and better, the aches and pains shift to different parts of my legs. Both of my soleus muscles have lately been going through. I’m just taking a little time off to let them heal and will likely need to reduce my mileage for now until I get used to running this way.

[@JM-jd7yp]

Thank you. The information in this video was very helpful. I wish you well.

[@CoCo.002]

fabulous in content, but 1. that voice couldnt decide whether it was a robot or not 2. the fact that there were no breaks in the sentence / inflection / paragraphs made it almost impossible to follow what was being said. Totally lost in translation

[@stephenshw2262]

All that forefoot running is giving her the stamina of a machine

[@addeyyry]

And now today ai voices sounds more human than this human haha

[@heinz-peterwolfgangmarcelg1891]

Maybe its because not running tall. That would leas to a stronger bend in your knee which further uses more the soleus and taking away tention from your gastrocnemius.

[@katmirstone4348]

Thank you so much awesome woman!

[@runforefoot]

Any time :D Always such a pleasure to help :D Thank for the lovely comment my friend!

[@kdo400]

It was very usfull information. Thank you so much!

[@billythekidnax]

I've been forefoot running for a long time. No kneee pain ever but my achilles often aches

[@ieeetransoncircuitssystemf1101]

right on, after approx 500km barefoot running, starting to have this soleus pain.

[@jeremykiscool]

I can run off this pain then?

[@wypimentel]

Oh thanks, this is what I'm was looking for, but adaptation takes time, I was running fine, then I stop for a month (nose surgery), now after one month I didn't actually started running but was doing the running excercices which all of them I try to land with the forefoot and I have this soleus pain.

[@ByronNash3rd]

What if I'm still getting this after 2-3 years of this training?

[@yaesmucho]

Whats the speed on that treadmill? I'll join the gym soon too.

[@GokuRunnerV0]

Excellent. Thank you!

[@runforefoot]

You're very welcome :D Thanks for the comment!

[@xaviertaylor3276]

Great info 🌟 Love the energy ☉

[@runforefoot]

Thanks so much for the kind remark! Hope you had a wonderful weekend! Happy running :D

[@hindustani2219]

Bestest channel👍

[@yaesmucho]

How is it possible that using $40usd minimalist shoes, feels more comfortable than max cushioned Nike's Invincibles ZoomX running shoes??

[@vincentmancini2800]

good info. thanks

[@nickkestler4848]

This is the video I was looking for. I was a heel striker my whole life and I focused on landing on the midfoot/forefoot to help prevent knee pains and injury, but it started causing other injuries in my calves and I thought I was a lost cause. First time I felt a popping in my calf and I took time off, recently I ran 3 miles before the pain made me stop. I can't determine if I half a previous injury that hasn't healed or my soleus muscles are still adapting.

[@karlaxel7358]

Hmm, how old are you?

[@nickkestler4848]

@@karlaxel7358 32 years old now. I have since then basically stopped running. I think my problem was just so many factors. plus just very bad luck to get so many consecutive injuries. Hoping 2021 will be a good year to get back into the game.

[@waynebungay980]

Very annoying squeaky, robotic voice. Intolerable. Great information but I tapped out before the halfway point. Please redo with a different speaker.

[@jacobveretto5321]

Single?

[@whoscottgreen7153]

Idk why but I feel excited

[@yaesmucho]

Its hipnotic to watch you run. :D

[@yaesmucho]

I know im developing my run, thank you

[@mertserozan7268]

Very helpful thank you

[@mistorflint2961]

Thank you for the informative video, although the voice took some getting use to.

[@apiplanas8930]

Great video! I've got a question: I´m only wearing minimalist shoes, being barefoot at home and with huarache-sandals to sports since a year ago, but running still causes me soleus pain on my right leg and I think that i´m still weak. At gym I stopped doing calf raises cause it worsened the pain and I change streching habbits, not to focused on the muscle but on posterior chain. I´ve been always running on pavement, can be this one of the causes for this pain? Is there something outside running that can help with this?. I can´t think about running in other way but barefoot. Excuses for my bad english!

[@simonloo1588]

My soleus hurt like hell perpetually ....how to relieve the pain...I am a forefoot runner

[@IT_Farhan]

Go more for a midfoot strike, and do a heel drop if necessary. I’m learning the hard way

[@stayontrack]

never had any soleus pain since i cycle a lot which made it strong

[@yaesmucho]

Beautiful

[@BloodMeridien]

After 9 months of fiendishly painful barefoot transition I finally see videos pointing out that the heel is supposed to touch the ground as well as the forefoot. I was keeping the heels in the air. Oopsie. Well, at least now my soleus have stopped hurting but my heels are all sore and super sensitive.

[@stephanweaver1960]

Not "it's supposed to" but rather it's likely as a new runner. I both do and don't depending on the aggressiveness of my run. Most good FF runners do not but then they have a fuller stride than mine and probably yours. It's hard/ more artificial to keep your heel off the ground at 10 mi. Pace vs 8 vs 6

[@BloodMeridien]

Stephan Weaver Yes Stephan, when you sprint it's rather likely the heels won't touch the ground, you absolute twat.

[@runforefoot]

I’m so glad you noticed that (heel dropping), but more importantly, I’m more glad you’re really committed to barefooting!! I made the same mistake at first: running really high up on the toes with the heel highly elevated off the ground. I partially ruptured my Achilles as a result! One problem is many people refer to forefoot running as ‘toe running’ which can send anyone into the danger zone because they assume forefoot running involves running high up on the toes while never letting the heel touch the ground which will shred the Achilles and blow-torch the calves! It just doesn’t sustain well. The heel drop is such an essential feature of the forefoot strike, especially for the marathon -- forefoot runner marathoners, like Kipchoge and Tiru Dibaba, have a really low forefoot strike. It ALMOST looks like they’re midfoot striking, until you slow down the motion of their footstrike and it shows the foot landing just slightly ahead of the arch. The net effect of the heel dropping is more energy stored in the Achilles and it provides a smoother interaction with you and the ground, less rigidity, more cushioning. I think it gives you a bigger motor to run faster with better efficiency for sure :D As for the heel sensitivity, it just takes a little time for the heels to play catch up in developing thicker skin and the heel pad will eventually get more dense and toughen up. Before you know it, hopefully no more heel pain for you :D Thanks for the comment my friend! Keep on barefoot strong :D

Im really feeling this I started sprinting in barefoot shoes I was amazed at how much drive come out of my feet I feel like a kangaroo hahah, for stretching im doing ATG split squats from kneesovertoes `great video thanks!!

[@giananahoffman2175]

Great video. But why the sentences are so long? Not easy to understand.

[@user-xn2hf9re8r]

brilliant thank you

[@cdahl]

Double whammy for me as I have awful calf flexibility. Massages are very painful when they get to this muscle 😆

[@lisdeksia]

Can you please do a video on your experience running with the sandals vs vibram kso? Thanks in advance

[@runforefoot]

I will certainly do that! Thanks for the idea my friend!

[@davidg5584]

She just says to run through it. Which can really injure it badly

[@gezzapk]

Not really. She says that your soleus is adapting to the running. And forefoot running is what's causing it. Don't run if your calf is in pain, come on have some common sense

[@davidg5584]

@@gezzapk you have common sense. There is a vast difference in pains, and if a new runner doesn't know them, that's how injuries happen. Good luck in life

[@gezzapk]

@@davidg5584 are you kidding me? You don't have common sense if you don't know when to stop running when you have pain. Listen before you comment and you would her her say that you should rest and recover and go see a specialist if pain persists. Good day!

[@Satsujiki]

I've been having this pain for a while as a soccer player. The pain never goes worst, though it goes away after 1 day of rest. When it comes back, it's less painful everytime. Just proper stretching, training and not overusing it will let it have time to become stronger.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

Well, people could interpret it that way. But what she said was basically "when your soleus is loaded more than it's used to it can get sore". Common sense and personal experience hopefully provide the knowledge how to deal with sore muscles

[@topfeedcoco]

OMG that voice!! 😳

[@ziadirida]

Alright for crying out loud, I will no longer heal strike

[@RossKempOnYourMum01]

This voice is more agonising than both your soleus muscles sheering off the bone and rolling down your legs like salmon steaks

[@Kelly_Ben]

So mean. Can't laugh... Don't... laugh.... gah!! 🤣😂

It's been 3 days, and my soleus still sore, fuckkk

[@plusultra2084]

CharlieGunz when your soleus first started to hurt, did you feel kind of a sharp pain ? Bc I did

[@StuSchuk]

you do good job explaining soleus strain. then tell us to go see a Dr for treatment. that part was disappointing.

[@TheSandkastenverbot]

hwhattt?

[@kestontrammell3014]

So I know what strains the soleus but what strained your voice?

😂😂😂

By my experiencie i cant tell just with the tittle that sht is true as fk, cause i had soleus pain cause i saw a video who said that you should run like that BULLSHIT dont care about that just ruuun
