Post Body

I run primarily on concrete with little other option. I also like the area where I run and am somewhat resistant to the idea of switching spots. I run typically 3.20 miles in a single night, with roughly 60% spent jogging, 20% running, 10% walking, 10% sprinting for about 33 minutes.

My shins, lower calves, ankles, and achilles tendons seem to be at breaking point. I wear primarily Adidas Alphabounce and recently have tried Adidas Ultraboost. The ultra boost let me run longer without pain, but they've eventually returned. I am considering orthotic inserts, but I know next to nothing about my gait or stride or "running style". I seems I land closer to my heel than my forefoot. I do have some anterior pelvic tilt and I have very weak abdominals and hip muscles.

I am running primarily for weight loss, endurance, and speed training to become better in recreational soccer, with I play on turf and occasionally the street. I can do just fine on the turf, but concrete is causing my body to disintegrate.

Is there anything I can do to mitigate the constant damage? Anything I can do to relax my achilles? I really hate not being able to do something as simple as running.
