Quick tips on forefoot strike running, how to avoid heel strike, and how to run better.
Leaning slightly forward when running proved more effective at engaging better leg swing control that prevents an over-stride, and results in significantly less impact at the knee, while providing more economical benefits, too, as compared with running too upright with your torso.
The safest, most efficient way to run uphill is to land with a forefoot strike because it was found to do a better job at improving the position of both initial foot strike position and your upper body posture in ways that greatly reduces the opposing forces linked to most common running-related injuries as compared with heel striking.
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.
