Looking for feedback/advice from people who suffer from under pronating and if they have managed to correct it at all. Stretching? Strengthening? Shoe choices? 

I have always known I suffer from underpronating, but mostly thought it is something that cant be corrected. I have had injuries like ITBS and plantar fasciitis which are likely linked to it. I frequently get tender tibias when building and is the first place to ache. Despite this, I have managed 80-120km weeks pretty consistently in the past. 

Previously wore very minimalist shoes which I blamed for messing up my plantar. ITBS seemed to come from nowhere and wasn't during a period of building milage. 

Currently running 60-70km a week, all my miles off-road, main shoes Hoka speedgoats + la sportiva mutant.

Aren’t most off road shoes neutral? Could you fit an orthotic to help? Can you solve your itbs with glute work? Have you seen a good physio?

Just some thoughts.

Strengthening and stretching are never going to be a bad thing to try (as long as you do them properly!), so no harm in trying and seeing if they help!

I can't offer any help, I'm afraid, but I'll be watching this thread as I have similar problems. Haven't had any issues with ITBS yet, but have had PF in the past (weirdly from a 800km thru-hike, never from running) and chronically suffer from tibia problems when ramping up mileage. 

Currently running 60km weeks and keeping problems at bay with a shitload of prehab work but any corrective suggestions for supination would be awesome.

Have seen a physio who has advised stretching etc. Just curious to see feedback from others in a similar situation and what difference they have made. 

Specific injury advice wasn't what I was looking for. I am just curious to see how other people have tolerated the running style and if there is potential for corrective exercises to help. 

Thanks
