Energy Saving Measures in Forefoot Running

Energy Saving Measures in Forefoot Running

Placement of the foot in forefoot running is flat and not high up on the toes. Although, a forefoot strike is a flatter foot placement, the balls of the foot contact the ground first followed by the dropping of the heel.

"I believe the forefoot strike is the engine of endurance running..."

BSc Neurobiology; MSc Biomechanics candidate, ultra minimalist runner & founder of RunForefoot. I was a heel striker, always injured. I was inspired by the great Tirunesh Dibaba to try forefoot running. Now, I'm injury free. This is why I launched Run Forefoot, to advocate the health & performance benefits of forefoot running and to raise awareness on the dangers of heel striking, because the world needs to know.
