Flat feet

[Bleadon71]

Can you run too flat footed?

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Being flat footed means you have low arches on the base of your feet. By having a gait analysis, before being fitted for proper running shoes at a specialist running shop, you should be offered only shoes providing appropriate support for your feet.

Dont be put off starting the programme. It's fabulous and virtually anyone can do it. Flat footed or not!

Give it a go!

Yes I’ve started I’m on W4R1 really enjoy it but I just wondered if my flat footedness (not sure if that’s a word) might slow me down. Thanks for your reply. I’m loving having Michael Johnson encourage me on my way!! x x

yay! Well done! Michael is brilliantly inspirational and his chocolate-laced vocal does help!

Have fun! Slow and steady gets you places!
