I've recently discovered I'm an underpronator and I'm struggling to find the right shoes and training approach. Anyone else out there dealing with underpronation? What shoes have worked for you? Have you had to adjust your running form or incorporate specific exercises to mitigate the impact? Help a guy out!
I'm an underpronator too and it took me a while to find the right shoes. I swear by the Brooks Ghost series, they've been a game-changer for me. As for form, I focus on landing midfoot and doing strengthening exercises for my ankles and calves. It's all about finding what works for you, but don't be afraid to experiment!
Thanks for the shoe rec! I've been considering the Brooks Ghost series. I've also been trying to focus on midfoot landing, it's definitely a work in progress. I'll have to look into those ankle and calf exercises too. Do you have any specific exercises or routines that you'd recommend?
Brooks Ghost is a good choice, but I've had better luck with the Asics Gel-Kayano series. They offer more support for underpronators. As for form, I've found that focusing on quick turnover and shorter strides helps reduce the impact. Don't forget to stretch your calves and ankles regularly, it makes a big difference.
