Case Series Suggests Shoe-Linked Foot Risk
- Case reports tie navicular stress fractures to carbon-plated shoes, but case-series evidence cannot establish causation.
- Such reports flag plausible biomechanical risks and justify controlled research and cautious adoption.
Ease Into New Running Shoes Gradually
- When you change shoes or adopt carbon-plate models, reduce training load and reintroduce mileage gradually over 1–2 weeks.
- Treat new footwear like any other stressor: step back before progressing to full sessions.
Moving From 1200m To Sea Level Felt Easier
- Mike Finch lived and trained in Johannesburg (~1200 m) and moved to sea level, noticing easier training but greater training stimulus at sea level.
- He found sea-level sessions allowed higher absolute efforts that felt more productive than altitude training.
