The best foot strike technique for running is the forefoot strike because it reduces nearly all the forms of impact linked to injury, even if you run barefoot on the hardest surface, you will not produce any more impact if you land forefoot-first. Conversly, landing heel-first sets off a shockwave that damages the shins, knees and even lower back!
Informing you about last week’s top posts at Run Forefoot!
More studies on forefoot running, especially in habitual barefoot running populations would help define exactly how we should be forefoot running.
What informational source did you examine to learn to run? In other words, what is the exact biomechanical gait model that runners learn from? One hasn’t really been established, until now.
The benefits of forefoot running remains obscure in the research, primarily due to reporting bias towards heel strike running.
