I used to have this problem. I'd get really bad shin splints because I have really flat feet. Go see a podiatrist. I had custom orthotics made that help immensely. |
It's about fixing your technique and also building up your distance slowly. Go from all to 8km quickly and your bones are not used to the impact.
Density will increase. Squat and deadlifts will help your running too. |

No. People with flat feet (myself especially) have a tendency for their ankles to pronate while running.
With each step, the lack of arch allows the ankle to roll to the inside rather than being kept in line how they normally are for people with normal arches. This puts a lot of extra strain on the ankles, along with the rest of the leg. This isn't something that technique can fix. Without the proper support, all the proper technique in the world won't make any difference. |

The best time to run is in the rain at night. It's awesome. Proper pissing it down, you can't beat it. |
If it was warm out I wouldn't have a problem with it - I'm far too much of an amateur to try it in 11 degree fall weather though. :o |

You should see a podiatrist then. It's really bad for your ankles. |

You never mentioned flat feet ;)
Good luck with the insoles all the same! :) |

Well I am pretty sure I am not actually flat footed, I do have a significant arch and I did one of those things that shows where most of your weight rests in your foot and it showed a fairly significant arch as well, not much pronating.
Its just when I am not running at a nice quick stride its more like I am stomping my foot down flat, instead of rolling through the stride like I am when going quickly. I am trying to work on that though, its just hard... Also better breathing technique.
Sometimes I think that maybe my natural jogging stride is longer and its closer to a full on run than it is a slower jog... I don't know though.
But yea, dead lifts have def helped with it, especially in the knees and shins. Its literally the bottom of my feet that begin to hurt, and then as I slow down and cool down it feels like my feet have swollen up for like 5 minutes (I have to walk it out for that amount of time before my feet feel normal again). |
