Coffey<\/p>\n<p>Before I say anything at all, I need to first make one thing clear; I do not run. I\u2019ve flirted with the idea a few times in my short life, but, frankly, I\u2019ve always seen it as a something of an abusive relationship.<br \/>\n\u201cOh yeah,\u201d people will say. \u201cI\u2019m hurting so much, but it\u2019s great!\u201d<br \/>\nPlaying sport growing up, running was always the part I loathed. I\u2019m playing tennis here, Adrian, no need to make me run laps of the court. I\u2019ve since tried running at the gym, I\u2019ve tried running outside, but I&#8217;m just not all that interested in moving until I can\u2019t breathe, or until I can\u2019t feel my legs.<\/p>\n<p>Since I started working here at Melbourne Foot Clinic, though, I\u2019ve been doing a lot of work learning about our 3D Run Lab.<a href=\"https:\/\/3drunlab.com.au\/what-is-3drunlab\/\"><span style=\"color: #800080;\"> If you don\u2019t already know about it<\/span><\/a>, it\u2019s an advanced 3D assessment of your running that you can\u2019t get anywhere else in Melbourne. Even as someone who hates running, I\u2019ve felt compelled to try it and get a better idea of what it does. So, today, I ran.<\/p>\n<p>To be fair, I didn\u2019t have to run for very long, and the experience was tailored for me as someone that isn\u2019t a hardcore runner or athlete. The benefits of the assessment were clear as soon as our podiatrist, Rohan Coull, started explaining what all the facts and figures mean. What I found out, essentially, was that I am not very good at running. My strides are too long, my feet spend too much time on the ground, I lean too far forward, and I also lean too far to one side. It also gave me an opportunity to learn that I potentially need orthotics for my feet, which I wouldn\u2019t have found out otherwise.<\/p>\n<p>As someone who is not a runner, the assessment helped me understand why I <em>don\u2019t <\/em>like running; I\u2019m not doing it properly. For athletes, though, it is a feast of information and knowledge about your running you never knew you wanted. Trust me, I\u2019m an expert.<\/p>\n<hr>\n<p>If you enjoyed this post, consider reading our piece about how <span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a style=\"color: #800080;\" href=\"https:\/\/melbournefootclinic.com.au\/the-laces-epidemic\/\">difficult it can be to put your shoes on.<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Dale J.
