Dr. Brackenbury<\/a> and ACC staff,<\/p>\nAfter several years of continual major running injuries. I thought my distance and competitive running days were long over. A couple year ago I told a friend I would never be able to run marathon again because of\u00a0injuries and since it had been over a decade since and done anything like that. But thanks to you and your staff and your custom orthotics, not only am I back running but in better shape and running better than I ever have.<\/p>\n
This weekend I won my first running race in 24 years (a 17km\/10.5 mile trail run), last weekend I raced in a road marathon (42km\/26miles) with 6500 runners starting together and placed 30th<\/sup>\u00a0overall and 5th<\/sup>\u00a0in my age group, the weekend before that I ran a full trail marathon, and in February 2014 I completed my first ultramarathon (55km\/34miles).<\/p>\nOver the past couple years, the A.C.C<\/a> has been incredibly meticulous in creating custom orthotics that met my specific needs for both everyday wear (full insert multi-density) and running (carbon fiber). Without these orthotics in my daily shoes, I suffer incredible fatigue and debilitating pain in my arches and pain in my knees. Without these orthotics I over-pronate running, causing painful stress on my ankles, Achilles tendon, and hips.<\/p>\n
