Pronation is bad ❌

Any type of pronation, particularly calcaneal/heel eversion, is seen as a bad thing.

There are people that see some of it and think of it as something that needs to be “fixed.”

However, it is normal to have it occur as you run.

In fact, this movement helps you with “shock absorption”/force attenuation.

However, with anything there is a balance.

Just like “training” is a good thing, “overtraining” is not.

However, before you decide to try to FIX “overpronation”, understand the context of the runner.

If you don’t, your “fix” might make things worse.
