anyone here because of the 'did-you-know' thing?

Choppy? Considering you can barely write in English that is a very arrogant statement.

It's absolutely normal to have calf pain. When I first changed gait I had no pain after a 20min run but after the next day's run I could barely walk! Fast forward 6 months and I completed my first marathon in "zero-drop" shoes with a 7mm stack height (very different to regular running shoes). You need to take it slow (back off your milage if necessary) but the results will come.

P.S. Wearing shoes with a zero or at least minimal heel-toe differential will make life a lot easier.

I also find it easier to maneuver and make sharp movements when running with forefoot.

yep i agree. i know the bad fat is the reason that stopping 6 pack coming outside even we work out well. Listen I heard that most of the celebrities used to follow to kill their belly using this 7 food items. you can see it here : bit.ly/13c66gt?=wmzqf

thank you dr silverman

Yes! it's normal that you will get sore in places you never did before because you're using muscles you don't normally use! Maybe consult a professional on your method of running to make sure that you're running to the best of your ability without risk of injury?

You have to take it easier, don't transition all at once.

Not a better way to run. Definitely not more efficient. There is a way to run for 6 days straight. Note the running style. search cliff young shuffle for the video, can't post the link :p
