I have been breaking in a pair of orthotics now for about 2 weeks, but under the advice of my doctor, I have yet to run in them. Today was the first day I tried running with the orthotics in. I decided to run on the treadmill in case if it screwed up my feet or knees, I wouldn't have to walk home all that far. Overall, I say they worked just fine. I felt pretty good running in them.
I must tell you that I really am starting to hate running on the treadmill. It sure makes for a long slow run. I ran 5 miles today, and it took just about an hour to finish it up, including the cooldown. The orthotics caused me no issues at all, although I am a bit more tired than I usually am after 5 miles. That is either due to me adjusting to the orthotics, or that I am still recovering from the half marathon I ran on Monday.
Suffice it to say, it was a good run, albeit a bit boring. I tolerated it pretty well and had no pain whatsoever.
