Arch Taping

BACKGROUND INFO:  Ran 14 miles on seam awhile ago, got blisters underside of foot, ran anyway while trying to avoid landing on blisters.  This resulted in overpronation.  Kept running anyway.

RESULT: Knee sprain.

TREATMENT:
Did not receive barefoot running lecture from physiotherapist.  Suggested arch taping for support until pain resolves .   Not supposed to run until pain resolves.  I now love sports tape.

LESSON LEARNED:
Never NEVER change your stride especially when running  barefoot or in minimalist footwear.
Not all physiotherapists are against barefoot running.

LESSON TO BE DETERMINED:
Maybe I can run a little bit until it completely heals....
