your strides are short. I think you're not used to your longer legs.

The reasons for this slow and a little strange running are the weakness of your quadriceps due to LL which will get better after some time and the change in the biomechanics of the foot which will not get much better.
The change in the biomechanic of the foot, even if you do tibias or femurs or both, is big and the body can't adapt because the proportions of the foot are permanently changed and that means less capability in all the functions and stability.
And of course the more you lengthen the worse it is. If you have lengthened 8cm you would have been even more slow.
Of course you'll run faster in some months but never as fast and normal as before LL.
But you look better and that should matter more than be as fast or steady etc as before LL for anyone that really want this surgery.

Dr. Monegal said I could run a little faster eventually as I have longer legs.

But when you decide to do LL, specially with long term devices such as external frames... You'll just be glad you are able to walk again, then running is a dream.
Congratulations Helloworld you are now officially a successful limb lengthening patient! Keep improving yourself not only in your height but in every aspect of you.
You think so Body Builder? I think LL of course damages your body and reduces functional reserve of muscle strength. But imagine there are a lot of untrained guys who have done LL. If they train a lot they could improve themselves to the point of being the same or better than before LL. I don't know if I'm explaining myself well.

I think Helloworld if you were a Olympic runner at the top of your potential, you would never be as good. But if you are an average person there is still a lot you could improve by training to the point of maybe even becoming better than before LL.

So what is your final height? How much did you lengthen in the end?

I had a nice conversation with them 2 weeks ago.

We are at similar stage, so will be interesting how fast we can get to "normal".
What are the experiences of the LL veterans, besides Body Builider? Anybody else who is running fast or not so fast?
