Whats my pronation? Video

slight overpronation i think.

Enough to need a shoe with posting towards the rear foot. 860, adrenaline, nike structure, inspire(maybe), pearl h3. You will crush a mild support shoe(guide/2000/ravenna) like the post wasn't even there.

Honestly you look pretty neutral

Pronation is nothing to worry about. Ankles are holding you up even though they do bend inward a touch.

If you really want to obsess about form, fix your splayed feet (toes pointing outward). That is inefficient and will cause you to overuse adductors and under use glutes. Hill training can help you get stronger in your glutes and hopefully get your toes pointing forward more when you run.

You pronate, but everyone pronates, that's how our body absorbs impact. You don't over pronate, meaning your ankles do not collapse inwards after initial pronation.

My diagnosis: Neutral.

anyone else have any insight?

Tape a first metatarsal post under your hallux. Rearfoot posting won't work unless the lateral side of the shoe has a deep flex groove and is much much softer than the medial post. You actually are a late-phase over pronator. Get the Asics GT-3000

p.s.-The numbskull that says you are neutral is dumb and blind. Lastly, if you aren't injured, don't worry about it too much, but the forefoot post under the big toe will help and you wont have to change/buy new shoes.

I would say light stability, though it's possible that the video is deceptive. I work at a run specialty where we use video analysis but I don't think any of us take it very seriously unless it's a first time runner. Checking the wear pattern on their current shoes is much more reliable. I pronate like crazy if you put me in a pair of flats and tape my form at almost any speed on the treadmill, but I have a perfect neutral wear pattern in everything I own from heavy cushioned shoes down to flats, and I have had only one injury in fifteen years of running.

I'm not the OP, but I'm interested in what you're suggesting. Where can a person buy these posts that you're talking about? Thanks!

Ya'll are idiots, unless you said he is neutral.

Slightly abducted foot position, you transfer over and push off the big toe without visible signs of exceeding collapse. You are fine.

There's nothing you can do to change the way your bones are aligned. Just run.

Not enough to be concerned about.

Tell him that when he is bone on bone on the lateral side of his knee in 10 years.

youre a heal striker but anyway, youre at a mild over pronation

That's external rotation, not abduction. You can also say it's eversion.

Have you taken a freaking functional anatomy or biomechanics class?Duckfooted = abducted, pigeon toed = adducted. Rolling inward = eversionpronation is triplanar- eversion, adduction, and dorsiflexion.He lands with his foot slightly abducted and everts. If you look at any COP data or A-P plane GRF data you will see that people evert then invert. Read Jay Dicharry's book Anatomy for Runners- he advocates for pushing off the big toe. It makes sense, that's your most stable way to put down plantarflexor force. It is NORMAL for people to evert, this is the arch collapsing (absorbing impact) before it stiffens to push off. Eversion is a PROTECTIVE MECHANISM. If you see someone who does NOT evert chances are they have HIGHER GRF's going through them.If you say someone "Externally rotates" that means that they are abducting their foot doing gait, which would be incredibly pathological.And how would he be bone on bone?? Look at his knees- he is not going into valgus collapse. You need a biomechanics lab to analyze external knee varus/valgus moment to fully understand what's going on beyond the naked eye.His hips aren't in the video so can't draw any conclusions there.
