Tips on how to run with a forefoot strike.
Landing with a heel strike when running was found to be the underlying cause of increasing lower leg compartment pressure beyond tolerance, resulting in throbbing lower leg pain, but is fully resolved with forefoot striking.
Leaning slightly forward when running proved more effective at engaging better leg swing control that prevents an over-stride, and results in significantly less impact at the knee, while providing more economical benefits, too, as compared with running too upright with your torso.
One of the only ways to prevent ankle injury when running is to either run barefoot or in minimalist shoes because the heightened feel of the ground translates into better muscular and reflexive stability of the ankle, allowing for both more controlled ankle and foot step stability as compared with thick cushioned running shoes, which was found to be threatened to the stability of the ankle-joint!
The LONOWEAR FLOW is a low priced, high performance minimalist shoe that is equiped with extra width as well as softness and suppleness of the entire shoe, making the shoe perfect at the end of long runs or any long, grueling workout when your legs start to tire; the FLOW never loses its soft comfort. The FLOW also sits on a fully flexible, flat sole which helps drive your foot forward to avoid heel strike, and instead, encourages a forefoot strike when you run. Perfect for improving your running form and foot health in any weather, on any terrain.
Running in barefoot shoes leads to more functional improvements in the energy-saving elastic properties of the Achilles. This is because the flat, heelless sole enables the tendon to properly elongate during stance, which was found to make the Achilles better at storing and reusing elastic energy as compared with running shoes with a thick cushioned heel.
