Conclusion I

That's it, I am back from injuries and now I know what and why. The real trick is to run below your body. What I mean is that you don't want your feet to pass in front of your torso. Keep your steps shorts. More rapid if you want but short, below your body.

I am just back from a long knee problems, see some previous posts. But after close to two years of ons and offs, I am now back to long runs. Well, all shod, of course, but I ran twice 90' without any problem. The only trick is to keep your feet below your body, really. I even bought myself one of those knee pads to hold it together. But what really made if for me what to stay with short strides, may be faster, but short. Don't bring your feet in front of you. And land on the heel.

So, of course, that's what bf running do for you, it forces you not to land on the heel. Just try it once and you will see. I promise you will not do it twice. However, I already wasted my body quite a lot. I cut my Achilles tendon, twice in fact, and had various knee injuries due to skiing. So I guess that all together that doesn't help with the quite traumatic bf running.

I am not done with bf though. I am actually anxious to leave my soled shoes at home and grab my 5fs. But I will wait a while. I will first do a couple of long runs, coupled with speed training before I go back to bf. I do love it though. But again, you have to take it easy, go slow.

And definitively, keep your feet below your body. Enjoy your next run.
