Speak Your Mind
Hi Pete
I love your blog. I am a female runner, clocking about 30kms per week (3
days x 10kms). Usually at about 8km mark, my forefeet would begin to feel like its
burning – bearable but really uncomfortable. What would help with this? Is there a shoe that you would recommend that will help with this problem?
What shoes are you running in now? Do you know if you’re a forefoot striker or heel striker?

Hello Pete! Thanks for your prompt reply. I am a fore/mid-foot striker, and I am currently running in Saucony ProGrid Guide 5.
Have you always been a forefoot striker? Sometimes when people work on altering stride they over-exaggerate their foot strike and this can lead to trouble. The Guide 5 is a pretty cushy shoe so I would be surprised if it’s a shoe issue.

i love the nike pegasus series..great shoes, great arches. i used them in college for mileage and they never let me down. the best thing that i loved was how much ware and tear i can put them through and stuill gave great results even on my poff days. i dpont run like i use too anymore but i would suggest those cuz they hcan go through all terrains.
