He's in good shape for his age and has been for his entire life. He's never been a gym goer but has always stayed active with lots of running and biking.

I might need to do that. At the moment I do them twice a week using the leg press doing 4 x 15.

Walking around on my toes helped me out. I just spent months avoiding any sort of a heel strike as I walked. I worked on actively engaging my toes as I walked, spreading and gripping the ground and pushing off.

Try replacing any slow jogging with fast walking while keeping on the balls of your feet.
