Forefoot running has been scientifically proven to resolve and prevent all the injuries caused by heel strike running. And its even more efficient! Here’s why:
Forefoot running was found to do more to strengthen the toes than heel strike running.
Forefoot running is faster than heel strike running because it enhances the energy-saving spring properties of the Achilles whereas heel strike running negatively alters the spring properties of the tendon, resulting in more costly muscular efforts to propel the body forward.
In forefoot running, you automatically and remarkably land with less forces of all kinds which is why forefoot running may be an excellent match for injury prevention.
Uncovering another mechanical property of forefoot running that allows it to save more energy than heel strike running.
Heel strike running may prevent the calves from being used more effectively as shock absorbers which may not only increase calf loading, but may amplify impact to other areas of the leg as compared with forefoot running.
