AM - 8 AC/Mall.  Wore the Altra Zero Drop for the first time this morning.  I could tell right off the difference in form - not that the shoe changes your form, but the shoe gives off signals (through the slapping of the feet, the feel, the sound) that your form needs to improve.  It really brought me up front on my feet and into a  better posture and overall form.  My right calf may be a bit sore later as I could feel it from the shoes.  I decided that from the wear on my other shoes and the feel of this run, my right leg is "lazy" compared to my left - causing the left to overwork, and maybe the cause for the prolonged hip flexor troubles in the left hip - I think this may be just a linger result of the stroke as it wiped out my right side a bit.  (Altra 8)

afternoon - 4 2xDI.  Needed to get a little bit in at least this afternoon.  JV meet tomorrow and the big boys (and girls) were on the track today, so I hit the warm up and cool down with them.  Then weights/drills and a full set of plyos.  (Cumulus gold 630.9)

Is that zero drop shoe similar to an old worn out shoe with no cushion? I am running most of my miles on shoes with over 1000 miles and it has forced me to pay better attention to how I run. Hardly any heel wear on the shoes because I am up on my feet more. Nice race the other day. keep it up.

Ryan,

It really is! I have noticed a similar (but not as effective) effect with my old worn out shoes. And I actually like running in them. One difference is the weight, however.
