Legs Sore After Running in Streak LT4s. Normal?

The Streak has a 4 mm heel-to-toe drop while Peg has 10 mm. Your calves will feel the difference if you switch to lower drop, although some people here think otherwise. However, you should get used to it quite quickly, it took me 3-4 runs and since then I have no issues rotating 10mm and 3-4mm shoes.

If your problem persists longer, it is probably something else..

Yeah I always feel beat up with those flats. Very fast, but you are going to be beat to heck.

Maybe just baby your way into them. Do strides in them. Then maybe like a small track workout or two until your body gets used to them. Then you can do races and harder workouts in them and you will be okay.

I have a pair of LT 3 and 4s and dont really get sore from them (as compared to the workout) but can feel pretty beat up on the longer races/workouts. Ran a marathon in the LT 4s the other day, would not advise.

Yes, because those muscles down there have been made week by modern running shoes. What you are feeling is normal since you are running in a more natural shoe (natural in how you would naturally run). And, this taxes those muscles down there more.
