I got lovely shoes, Saucony Grid Stabils, for heavy pronators. Got them for last year's GWR but back then I was heelstriking, and I've been trying not to heelstrike this year. The slappig sound and jauncing lard is a bit embarassing once you notice it and people could hear me coming a mile away... Which leads me to some options:
1) The shoes that were good for heelstriking aren't good for forefoot striking. Remedy: rest up and go shopping.
2) My idea of forefoot striking is off, particularly that I might be more tiptoe-striking. Remedy: rest up and find a guru.
3) I just need to condition some different muscles. Remedy: suck it up and stop whining, Private Pyle!
4) The shoes are thrashed. I don't think so, 'cos I hardly ran at all between last May and Chrimbo.
