I have had flat feet since I was born. I have been told to wear cushioned trainers like the one you said not to wear!! I was getting shin splints. I also have been tearing my knee ligament just by walking...Any advice? I will look for some trainers that are more flexible as a start... Hi Kevin, this was so interesting.

Do you have any suggestions for sciatica pain? When I am on my feet too long, I end up with a lot of pain along the sciatic joints and tailbone area. Any suggestions? Thanks! Tammy Hi Kevin,

I'd film yourself running and see if you have any lateral hip motion. If that's the case, then that's your issue. Your IT is getting tired. If that's the case, you could benefit from some overall core strength as well as change your technique to require less muscle usage in your legs. A ChiRunning type approach. Some people will tell you that the IT needs stretching, but that's not the case. Your quads and core need a little more strength. BTW: This will still work if you're competitive... which it seems like you are. Hope that helps!

Love your energy, keep it up! I have been having pain in my knee when I run, possibly IT band and it WONT go away. I continue to cross train but every time I come back to running the pain flairs up. Would you recomend running barefoot and seeing if there is improvement? Or trying a newer shoe? I am using the Asics Nimbus 8 now. This needs to be fixed cause I have 140 miles coming up... Thanks! You rock! Love your energy, keep it up!

I run holes in my shoes. Yes, every pair of shoes I own, I run holes in them. Shoes, cheap and expensive and alike, never last more than a month. I guess it means I'm staying active, though...lol. Anyways, other than always buying shoes, I am constantly fighting myself not to procrastinate. I've actually gotten worse over the years, and I'm not too thrilled about that. Still working on a solution to that one! What slows me down? I run holes in my shoes. Yes, every pair of shoes I own, I run holes in them.

I'm in pretty good health, been on mostly raw foods for over 2 years, but something's missing....I do emotional healing work, meditate, try to exercise (not enough) and have even begun eating a little fish and poultry now and then in hopes of getting more energy. I know I'm blessed with better health than so many people, so I'm not complaining (not too much!) but sure would love to have even half of YOUR energy, Kevin! Thanks for all that you and Annamarie do, you're both pretty neat folks! My biggest challenge seems to be not having enough energy to get through the day without having to lay down at least once.

When I read the questions and comments of others and am reminded that there is so much pain suffered by many, my concern seems trivial but I raise it because it is increasingly distressing for me and is probably a concern also for many of your other followers similarly afflicted. I refer to seborrhoeic warts which for me are proliferating to an extent where I feel I am becoming a lizard. I have sought medical advice and the condition has been dismissed as "a common expectation of the natural aging process and not worth doing anything about". I do not subscribe to the idea that common signs of aging are inevitable and, via research, have been able to determine that most symptoms of getting older can be helped by some means, usually dietary. I suspect that some imbalance is the cause of my problem and I am hoping to access information to point me to a remedial or at least preventative direction. Some years ago, I heard the tail end of a broadcast on the subject. I was never able to discover who the speaker was or anything about his backround but he was definitely expressing his view that dietary deficiencies contribute to the development of these warts. He had been advocating some dietary changes and supplementation but I missed most of it although I noted he mentioned selenium. So, Kevin, you are such a mine of wisdom that I hope you are aware of a way forward for me. I am approaching my 65th birthday and am fortunate to be in good health.
