Interesting. The conflicting studies could be unified by a theory presented in this article https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S096663622100120X The article explicitly addresses the "trigger theory" (the fatigue and discomfort in the tibialis anterior and other muscles triggers running), but I don't know how they integrate those findings into the unified theory because I haven't read the article yet 😅
