Other work has found that running ‘firepower’ is lost with pre-run static stretching. Stretching before running sends certain muscle fibers in the lower leg into a fatigued-state.

Forefoot Running and Static Stretching

"I believe the forefoot strike is the engine of endurance running..."

BSc Neurobiology; MSc Biomechanics candidate, ultra minimalist runner & founder of RunForefoot. I was a heel striker, always injured. I was inspired by the great Tirunesh Dibaba to try forefoot running. Now, I'm injury free. This is why I launched Run Forefoot, to advocate the health & performance benefits of forefoot running and to raise awareness on the dangers of heel striking, because the world needs to know.
