The interesting thing about forefoot running is that it’s part of our evolutionary background. Our barefoot running ancestors evolved a forefoot strike landing to protect them. The bad news is, modern running shoes prevents us from forefoot striking, making running difficult and dangerous.
Whats the Best Foot Strike Running Technique?
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!
