Thanks for the feed back, 

its just i heard a lot lately about forefoot running, and how it can speed your running times up, and its better for avoiding injurys,

how much truth there is init I don't know

Hi,

im after a second opinion, I've running for years, and my running times are not bad, ive always heal striked, had a few injurys, little bits of shin splints, but put that down to change in footwear etc, 

recently spoke to a physio who measures gait, and she said you should never run on your heals, always on your toes, shorten your stride but speed it up, as its better for you, all the  long s distance runners run on the balls of there feet, and its aslo quicker, tryed it and felt really awkward, my back ached and my toes hurt, and though even over a short distance I felt more tired, 

has anyone had this, and is it true it's faster to run on your toes, or is it best just to go back to running the way i was before

thanks

Hi, I'm after abit of advice, help etc, Over Christmas I picked up the flu bug like alot of people I guess, I was really rough, couldn't swallow, and when I did felt like razor blades were going down my thoat, no energy, muscles ached, really bad cough..you get the picture Had it for about a week, now two weeks later I feel quite abit better apart from a slight cough and whizing a little bit, I been for two runs now, only 3 miles and not two fast, but the times are really really bad, worse as if I hadn't run for about two years, I don't feel to bad when I'm running I'm just really slow, now I don't know if I have gone back to early, or if its something else, I expect the times to not be great but when I've been injuryed in the past and been out for ages, the times weren't as bad, Has this happened to anyone else, any advice or help would be much appreciated
