Medical Video: What causes flat feet, and how is it corrected?
During the run, your feet are required to receive a large impact force in each of your steps. Therefore, it is important for runners to have strong soles to avoid injury from running. So, what if you have flat feet? Can you still run long distances?Here's complete information about running with your feet flat.
Running with flat feet causes pain
Flat soles refer to deformities where the soles of the soles of the feet decrease, so that your lower feet touch the floor completely when standing. This condition is quite common. There are quite a number of professional runners who suffer from flat feet, but still succeed in achieving success in their careers.
If you have flat feet, running can make you very sick because the curvature that is supposed to absorb the vibrations from the soles that touch the ground cannot do it. The results can range from back pain to shin pain, and even patellar tendinitis (tendon injury).
Quiet. Having flat feet does not mean you will never be able to run. In fact, with supportive running shoes, you can still run well, no matter how flat your feet are. To avoid injury, your running shoes should really fit the soles of your feet.
How do you run with flat feet?
The right running shoes should give extra support to the arch of the foot that is not owned, but not with too many cushioning effects. Look for shoes specifically designed for stability and motion control. These shoes usually have a dense middle soles to prevent the fall of the arch of the foot. Finding the right shoes can be difficult, but if you are confused, don't hesitate to ask for help from experts.
The way you run is also important. If you are a beginner, or have not run for a long time, start slowly. Your aim of running with flat feet is a short distance, with a fairly comfortable speed. Your body needs time to get used to its new activities. You must add a few extra minutes to your run time after at least one week of running.
Even if you feel that you can still run longer, don't force yourself. Maintaining running stability will reduce the chance of injury. At first, you will feel muscle pain, but as long as you stick to a stable running plan, your body will get the time it takes to adapt. In the end, your pain will disappear.
