Biomechanics

The question should kids run barefoot is a softball question because most of us should know by now, how bad running shoes are for our foot health and running form.

Many forefoot runners, like Mo Farah and Tirunesh Dibaba have a long stride compared to other forefoot runners, like Galen Rupp –whom of which are all world-class distance runners, but in general, most forefoot runners, even Farah and Dibaba, still have a shorter stride than most heel strike runners.
