So, if that arch is weakened or collapsed, we loose that support – the muscles of the foot can’t effectively engage – resulting in the foot being unable to react to the ground we are running across. Now, the muscles that form the arch of the foot are there to provide stability – they act like a bridge, providing the foot with support and protection. Luckily, there are several things we can do as runners to develop more foot strength and support, to prevent injury if your feet are on the flatter side. – but there is a higher risk of injury stemming from weak foot muscles.
