So as all of you know bio mechanics in skiing is of paramount importance to performance. And running is no different to this (I am talking about how footwear effects the alignment of your knees etc.)

Now for years I have fucking hated running! because my knees always hurt, I have spent money on a new pair of running shoes recently and have pain all up the inside of the part between my calf and ankle. Now it's impossible to diagnose me over the internet, however I was wondering from some of you guys what the best option is for me here?

Like weather I invest $600 in orthodics for my current new running shoes, or return my shoes I just bought and get some different ones?

Any advice is appreciated!!!1

Try running with proper form. Improper form while running is literally murder on your knees

Go see a podiatrist and physical therapist. Custom orthotics and PT will likely get you the best long term improvement.
Cheaper and pretty good semi-custom Orthotics can be gotten through Dr Scholl’s Custom, but not available in all areas, check their website.

First and foremost get fitted for shoes. Go to a running store and get them to assess your running gait. They will pull the EXACT types of shoes you need for your form/size/running style. Half the time you don’t even need orthotics. If the pain pursists, then look into getting some insoles....BUT it should be an absolute last resort.

Also you might be going too hard right off the hop. Take some time to do some run walking or run on the treadmill to get your body used to the forces of long distance running. Running can take a GIANT tole on your body if your not used to it.

Yeah, I just got professionally fitted for shoes but I still feel like pronation is causing an excess amount of stress on the area I described above.

I'm also thinking it's gait related. I like to on my forefoot.

I was never inside a shape to start with. IE: a square, circle etc. I would hate to be trapped inside, say, a giant tetrahedron.

Hopefully the kebab shop will pay for my custom orthotics. I'm seeing the doc tomorrow.

I also need them anyway, to get chucked in my boots.

Running is horrible for you, humans weren't designed to run every day. Sprinting was a survival / hunting technique - but running will fuck your knees.

Swimming is your best bet. Lifting things is also a normal pursuit.

I run on and off for months at a time between different workout cycles and on my last one I decided I'd go super hard right out the gate and went hard for 5 miles right away and ruptured my Achilles. #1 thing I learned is ease into running, it isn't about the instant results and also stretch, stretch and stretch again...before and after. Not only will it alleviate running pains but also just make everything you do feel so much better

I know of a guy that runs marathons daily in Africa. Maybe we can get him to chime in. Oh, one thing though, he does run barefoot.

If you go to a proper sports physio they'll be able to analyse your running technique and tell you what to change.

After trashing my knees like I have, I can't take strides as long as I used to without getting pain, but even taking like a 10% shorter stride means I can run all day (minus the fact i'm a fat shit). Maybe just go for a run now and just focus on taking shorter steps and see if that does anything, otherwise idk

On the topic of this thread there is this chain Greater Boston Running Store near me that I got some fancy Brooks Glycerins from for 80 percent off on their sale rack. 2 pairs in a perfect size 12.5 extra wide. One of the 2 is MIA really want to find those fucking things. Need to drive around and see if any other locations have those shoes for that cheap.
