Unlike heel strike running, there’s very clear evidence that when you land forefooted during running, it reduces over-striding by reducing knee extensibility, resulting in a slightly bent knee at landing. The net effect of this is a higher cadence which is proven to do the most good in preventing impact overloads to the shin, knee, hips and lower back! Read more here about why forefoot striking when running is how the foot interacts best with the ground!
