Quick tips on forefoot strike running, how to avoid heel strike, and how to run better.
Because of the high injury rates, many injured heel strike runners are looking to forefoot running because consistent with the research, forefoot running naturally engages additional mechanical outputs that do a better job at sustainably reducing net forces not just on the shins, but also the knees, hips and lower back than heel strike running.
Barefoot running shoes are more than good for you because they deliver a stronger sense of the ground which was found to prompt mechanical corrections that are more energy efficient. Not only that, the unrestricted fit and heightened ground-feedback is the best way to sustainably strengthen the arch and intrinsic muscles deep within the foot.
How a higher running cadence is better for the knees and hips and improves performance, too, as compared to a lower running cadence.
Metatarsal stress fracture from forefoot running can be prevented by training at faster running speeds rather than jogging.
Key tip to improve your barefoot running technique, so that you enjoy it more and avoid getting injured.
