If You Are Running In Pain You Need a Change Gene Ulishney, BS HPE, CPED, BOCPED, ACSM MEMBER
Pain is not an inevitable result of running, but is most likely a result of altered, abnormal biomechanics caused by incorrect or poor performing running shoes for your specific needs. Running is one of the oldest and most natural movements the human body can perform. In recent history and with the advent of modern man’s unforgiving and hard surfaces, running shoes have replaced the soft grassy plains of the past. These specially designed shoes soften the blow under foot and can absorb a considerable amount of injury-causing impact. But, if not designed properly or fitted properly, these same shoes can also be the cause of pain and injury. Today, the primary causes of footwear-related running pain and injuries are: too stiff, too soft, too much control, too little control, wrong shape and too old and worn out. By too stiff I mean a shoe that is not flexible enough in the forefoot and not flexing in the proper place to accommodate the biomechanics of most feet placed inside it. A proper running shoe must begin flexing easily and specifically behind its widest point, at the balls of the foot, and then continues rolling through toe-off. It is what I like to call “flex and roll”. This action ensures proper shoe mechanics matching the biomechanics of the vast majority of runners. Ignoring this most important footwear quality will inevitably result in pain and overuse injuries. The chances of issues arising are directly related to intensity and the distance run. Neutral gaits may have lateral foot, knee, leg, and/or adductor/internal rotator issues. Overpronators may experience heel pain, shin, knee, medial leg and ankle, and other abductor/external rotator annoyances. A shoe that is too soft is inherently less stable and wears out sooner. It will also stress the structures of the body by having the effect of “running in sand”. You will work harder and you will be slower. With each step, soft shoes take longer to compress and longer to return, resulting in more time being spent on the ground. Other effects include less efficiency, and excess motion, which may cause a variety of pains and possible injury. Shoes with too much control for your gait risk injury to the lateral foot, ankle, knee and lateral side of the leg such as IT Band pain as well as pain in the adductor/internal rotator groups of muscles and tendons and long term, medial meniscus wear. Shoes with too little control risk injury to the plantar fascia, knee, inside leg and the abductor/external rotator groups of muscles and tendons and lateral meniscus wear. And lastly, the wrong shape shoe is the main cause of rubbing and blistering. These seemingly small issues can result in more serious problems due to usually unnoticed gait changes to avoid such painful areas. Some points to keep in mind: all running shoes are not created equal; pain is not an unavoidable result of running; and persistent pain means you need a change. Before it gets the best of you, see your local running store for a gait and footwear reevaluation.

OPEN WATER SWIM THERAPY Open Water Swim is helping the community every day. Open water activities are growing in popularity around Tampa Bay, Sarasota, and Orlando while improving the health of many athletes - not just physically, but mentally as well. Outdoor activities and swimming in the ocean, rivers, and lakes are the best and easiest ways of keeping everybody healthy during these times. Reducing stress, developing stronger levels of productivity, keeping our brains busy and generating confidence while leading to a natural high that also helps with your sleep. -- Leo Briceno, Open Water Swim Coach Masters Degree in Special Education "Part of what makes swimming beneficial for mental health and well-being is that it offers us time to process. Brains need time to process thoughts, emotions, and information without interruption from media, work or our relationships. While technology is a useful tool, it is slowly chipping away at our time for processing. Any time we feel the need to check emails or text messages we can. Swimming and the ocean provides a break from these demands.” -- Joella Long, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist We invite the community to join us in our daily swim practices in the Gulf of Mexico and Intercoastal in Pinellas county. Visit www.sunshineopenwater.com for more information. We offer the opportunity for swimmers to practice their swimming skills with old and new friends. Additionally, beginners are able to get in the water and discover what they are able to accomplish! There are many great stories of people who have never swam before and, starting slowly, they have pushed their limits and are now amazed at what they are able to do. We hope you come swim with us soon!

CYCLING IN THE AGE OF THJE ELECTRIC SCOOTER INVASION As we try to “normalize” our outdoor cycling activities, and as tourism is restarting, a troubling trend is showing itself, especially in the downtown areas of our cities: inexperienced operators of rental electric scooters taking over the roads, bicycle lanes, and sidewalks. In order to try to get Brian is a practicing attorney, specializing in control of this potential mayhem, I believe it is the duty of all of us to report personal injury cases bad and/or dangerous behavior to the appropriate authorities, not only for with a subspecialty representing cyclists in bike/ our own safety, but for the bicycling public’s reputation. How can this be? auto accidents. He is a life- Because more and more we are getting lumped in with scooter riders, for long resident of example: “ those damn cyclists and scooter riders shouldn’t be allowed!” St. Petersburg, and has been active, as both a participant (Heard this from an otherwise intelligent late middle aged driver.)
and race manager for in excess of thirty years. He has worked on all phases of race production, including being one of the early race directors of St. Anthony’s Triathlon; announces many races on the West Coast of Florida, and served the Florida Region on the National Board of Directors for USATriathlon for six years, and is the Past President of that Organization. Brian is also on the Board/ Executive committee for the Frogman swim, proceeds of which benefit the Navy Seal Foundation providing multiple forms of assistance to families of Seals who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our Country. He is married to Awilda, and remains active in our sports community as both a participant and as an announcer of triathlons, running events, and the Seal Frogman Swim across Tampa Bay.

I have seen scooters going the wrong way in dedicated bike lanes, and when you dare to challenge/correct them, you get a hand gesture for your efforts. I’ve seen them blow red lights (unfortunately, way too many experienced cyclists believe this is ok for them as well), and weaving in and out of pedestrian traffic on sidewalks is also an apparently acceptable form of scooter behavior. We owe it to our cycling community as well as the community at large to make the powers that be aware of this danger and the need for appropriate enforcement. Make no mistake: I believe there is a place for proper safe scooter use in our community, but active enforcement needs to take place now before the situation gets out of control. If you ride, as I always recommend, with front and rear cameras, consider sending videos when dangerous scooter riding is on your video to the police department. It’s the best evidence to prove what activity needs to be policed. Stay safe out there.
