Does having flat feet affect one's ability to run over long distances. For example when I do my 2km run for phys ed, i get burning pains in my shins. Is this a result of my low-arched feet?

The answer is yes! Flat feet cause you to over pronate your feet which in turn pulls the entire lower body out of alignment. It is common for people with flat feet to have shin, achilles, knee, hip and even lower back pain. You need some running insoles ASAP.
