It used to be foot pain mainly, but now its not anywhere nearly as bad as it used to be. I think it was mostly due to not using my legs for anything more than a brisk walk for more than a decade.
Now my pains are gluteus and calf related, but I think they are mainly because I have been pushing myself pretty hard. Gotta slow down a bit and give myself more time to recover.
- ghswa 13y agoI'd recommend seeing a podiatrist anyway[1]. I've known about my alignment issues for years - mega tight hamstrings and weak gluteals so I got my first pair of (corrective) running shoes from a local, reputable, running shop[2] after a gait analysis. I couldn't run further than 3 miles before the pain in my knee became too much. The shop then referred me to a podiatrist and switched my corrective shoes for a neutral pair, with insoles from the podiatrist. Since then I've had no problems and have run a half-marathon and 10k. [1] Not that I'm an especially experienced runner but I've known about my alignment issues for years and, with running in particular, really notice the difference the right correction makes.

- pavs 13y agoI will see if there is any good podiatrist where I live (I highly doubt), but thanks for your suggestion, I appreciate it.
