Having transitioned rather well to minimalist shoes for running, I, out of curiosity and variety, donned my usual running shoe, the Response, and went for a run. It was disastrous! To cut the long story short, I ended up with muscle pains and strains.
I think I'll use my Response for walking around and retire it permanently from running purposes.
Having had this minor episode, I can understand this much - that my running style had adapted more to running in a minimalist shoe (it's running heaven once the transition is made well). So putting on a thickly padded shoe and running in them feels foreign and disjointed in running flow and rhythm.
