I'm getting good stretch of the achilles by running uphill. But I'm a little worried now that I've been wearing high heels (9-11mm drop with the very occasional 6mm) for 4 weeks now and need to start mixing in some lower heel shoes. middle.professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370737843957507859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384232965908187048.post-9669562018260108962012-05-03T21:13:18.043-04:002012-05-03T21:13:18.043-04:00Just as a side note Jeff, I recently bought a pair...Just as a side note Jeff, I recently bought a pair of "every day" shoes which have replaced my favorite Boggs that I've worn for 6 years. The new shoes have a minimal diff. and after about a week I noticed my Achilles pain was much less on runs, and after. I never put it together that my every day shoes were what was exacerbating my lower legs, while I ran in semi-minimal Inov-8&#Jeremy Bonnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10994745404048151650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384232965908187048.post-29020657047085284762012-05-03T10:25:27.417-04:002012-05-03T10:25:27.417-04:00totally agree.

Goal is consistent 9-10 hours/week but that will be hard without either doubles or a longer long run than I would typically do, or maybe just busting out more 90 minute runs.middle.professorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02370737843957507859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3384232965908187048.post-29518651334190468502012-05-03T10:14:37.578-04:002012-05-03T10:14:37.578-04:00I agree with Hadd on getting the mileage up, but f...I agree with Hadd on getting the mileage up, but for those of us that do a lot of trail or mountain running, I think you need to look at time on your feet vs. mileage.
