Is Forefoot Running Better?

Is forefoot running better than heel strike running? Impact forces and loading seems to dissipate best and are consistently prevented from surging to dangerous levels when initial ground-contact is made on the balls of the foot during running. Its for this reason that habitual barefoot runners, who typically land forefooted, are able to run safely, regardless of surface hardness, without generating greater impact and costly soft tissue movements and muscle tuning can be avoided altogether. Read more here about how the low-impact nature of forefoot running helps you lock in better economic stability, especially when running longer distances.
