Did you know that only 5% of the human race is bio-mechanically built to be efficient runners?
I am not part of that 5%
Sometimes I wish I didn't have to tape my arches, ankles, and knee before I run. But then I think about how there could be something wrong with me that can't be fixed with tape, and I am grateful that I only have to deal with high arches and a slightly off center knee. Those are the sort of things you can just kind of ignore until they go away, treat with ice after you run, and not worry about. I'm so glad there's nothing really wrong with me, like a stress fracture in my femur or a torn ACL.
