It seems like I'm always having problems with the right side of my body. When I look at my calves my left soleus is a lot more defined than my right, and I've been told my right leg is shorter than my left (or maybe it was longer?), but it's not a huge difference. Could this difference in length be responsible for my frequent injuries with my right leg/foot, or is more of a footstrike thing? How the F do I correct it?
That is very strange, but to be honest with you, until you mentioned that, I've noticed that all of my injuries are on the LEFT side of my body. I only assume that it is my footstrike (I land on the outside of my foot and roll in, I can never remember if that is pronation or supination).
For your problem, it could just be the footstrike, but I imagine your footstrike is the same or similar to your left side. I don't know, kinda f**ked up.
?
maybe your spine/ hips are out of alignment? that could put a lot of pressure on one side of your body. consider a chiropractor?
2 distinct (and most likely possibilities):
Leg length discrepancy.
Always running on a canted surface/or same track direction.
