Yup. I’ve got that whole ankle/leg/shin-splint issue figured out. It was definitely the pronating on my right foot that was the problem. Ran again tonight with Aaron keeping the focus (again) on making proper contact with the ground. The pose felt good and the pain I had is all but gone.

The only discomfort I have is some muscle soreness in my right foot - undoubtedley because I’m working “rightey” in a different way than it is used to.

I’m thinking this latest tweak to my form is going to take a couple of weeks. I’m way happy and looking forward to a winter of fine tuning followed by a spring and summer of rockin’ racing.

Woohoo!

funny, i had read bits of your blog before, but i just found it again today through googling the pose method… i’m interested in giving that a try… it sounds like chirunning without all the chi stuff that goes over my head…

are any of the books available in canada? or did you have to get them shipped from the states?

thanks! and glad to hear that it’s working so well for you!
