Discussion: Gait Change at mile 8

Subject: Gait Change at mile 8

Written on: Friday February 10, 2012

Message: I noticed today during my run that at about mile 8 that i started to change my gait. it went from a paralel(that is legs from hips to feet were straight and even) steady cadence to a bow leged sway like thing. I know it is jst my body trying to compensae for strain or stress or weekness or whatever but it has NEVER happened before. same shoes, shorts, fuel belt, hydration, route weather socks, fuel...everything was the same. it did feel better/more comfortable but i forced myself to stay with the gait that i usually do. any insight to this.....not a pressing issue for me but definatly new one. thanks just curious and a poor spellerer!!:)

Message: I felt fine but perhaps that is what it was, i picked up my cadence a little more and forced myself to get back to what i normaly run like and it seemed fine...perhaps i was just tired and didnt realize it. is it a bad thing when that happens or should i just go with it???
