I suffer from drop foot due to loss of muscle in my leg from a gangrene infection.
I am able to SBR and completed a sprint last year as a big personal "milestone" in my recovery but I am now looking to do my first HIM this November.
As I slowly increase my run volume, I am getting some, what I will call, Achilles tendonitis(so it feels). I have been working on modifying my running form to handle a forefoot strike to minimize injury and associated hip pain from an uneven gait.
I am curious if anyone out there has permanent drop foot and if they have any symptoms I mention, and how you went about increasing run volume without further injury.
Thanks!
