I went to see Lewisham Foot Health yesterday, it was very interesting.
In brief: I strike correctly with my left foot/ankle/leg, whereas with my right I strike at an angle and roll through the mid-foot, and then as my foot comes off the deck my whole lower leg whips round to straight again. Also, my right glute is doing basically nothing - it's maybe 25% of the strength of my left.
Finally, after one look at my flipper like feet the chap recommended Altra shoes - anyone else using them?
I've got a bunch of exercises to re-aim my right foot, but I'm thinking that sub-21 5k was as good as this year is going to get, and the sub-20 is sadly for next year now.
