Changes

While minimalist running offers a more natural running style that is less prone to injury, the transition to minimalist running can cause serious injuries. Moving to minimalist running requires learning to run again from scratch. One useful analogy is that of taking of a cast from an injured leg; you have to slowly rehabilitate the leg to rebuild the strength. Likewise, a traditional running shoe is like a cast for your foot, and removing it will require a slow rebuilding of strength. Doing [[Too Much Too Soon ]] is such a common problem that the acronym TMTS is widely used on barefoot and minimalist running forums. [[Too Much Too Soon ]] can result in various foot problems, including stress fractures.
