BB Q+A!

G'day all you BB'ers out there, today we have a brand new feature! You ask me a question, and I will, to the best of my ability, find an answer for you. If I can't do that, I will just make it up as I go along!

The very first question is...

"Hi all sports minded colleagues…..

Just wondered if there was a consensus out there on whether or not you recommend/take issue your runners wearing a lighter shoe for race day.

I have a patient with a history of posterior medial shin ‘splints’/ compartment syndrome. Responded very well to orthoses and structured training shoes. She is keen to wear a lighter shoe come race day (10km)."
