Guys, guys, guys. I know i am going down a weird rabbit hole of oddities with this big toe convo and you’re probably thinking i could join a side show, but i assure everyone that i am truly a normal guy with just some strange small stuff that has potentially huge effect. Learning a lot. And putting this video out there for others.
I dont think i have super serious condition, but probably enough to be a negative consideration to my aspirations of being as efficient as i can.
essentially a normal foot uses the first and fifth toe and heel as a tripod for the movement, and i am rolling off the second toe into the third and fourth causing all kinds of stress and havoc on the biomechanics. They are suggesting to add something under the first metatarsal to change when/where the contact points are hit for the 1st and second metatarsal. I think the commercial product might be called a cluffy wedge.
there is another couple of videos on strengthening the feet to address the effect of years of imbalance.
I’m not a huge proponent of any type of running, i.e. shoes, barefoot, drop, minimal, maximal, etc. but i feel like the stuff i like is stressful to the calves and with the stress already happening because of this shorter first metatarsal joint, i’m multiplying potential injury.
i am glad that i’ve been ok for so long but i am going to try to mitigate the calf stress. I am wondering why though my right calf seems to be more injury prone.. i might have a weaker left leg or perhaps my right knee injury is part of it. Hip imbalance. Hmmm. Hard to say if its coincidental or correlation.
