The effects of prolonged running on foot posture: a repeated measures study of half marathon runners using the foot posture index and navicular height
Half marathon induced changes in navicular height might occur early in the run.

Nice study - well done and I hope to see more from your group.
Quick comment.
In respect to the navicular height measurements it reminded me of a finding we reported in 2000 in which our control no tape group who jogged 10minutes exhibited a 3mm (SEmean 0.35) drop from baseline and that didn't change much over 20 minutes of jogging (3.4mm (0.6))[1]. I think this raises the possibility that the major part of the change in foot posture occurs very early.
