today's run was very enlightening. i fixed some technique issues i had that cased my pain around my knees. i could not figure it out at i have been running 7 weeks now without break but still got some pains here and there. i though it was my foot striking, then drop of the shoe, sole thickness, level of cushion and so on. today it clicked. i i had bad running technique altogether. the comfy shoes made me run incorrectly. i explored how my feet behave when barefoot and it clicked and i fixed it.
sad realisation is that most of the running advice on the internet(youtube), even from professionals, is utter garbage.
