While research in this field is still ongoing, a number of studies report the benefits of landing first on the middle or front of your feet when running. You should land mid-sole and then roll through to the front of your toes. Proponents of this view say that you want to avoid being a heel-striker.
Way back in 2010, Pete Larson of Runblogger wrote a great post debunking the notion that your foot should land directly underneath your body, pointing out.Way back in 2010, Pete Larson of Runblogger wrote a great post debunking the notion that your foot should land directly underneath your body, pointing out that even Pose and Chi gurus who advocate.When running, the very first part of your foot you should land on is underneath the 4th and 5ht toe, then the entire foot should flatten down to the ground with the.You need to avoid over extending your leg and landing with your toes pointing downwards.
Most runners find it difficult to find their midfoot, generally overshooting and landing on the ball of their foot. Landing too far forward will cause excessive bounce in.There is one of three sections of your foot to land on: the heel or rear foot, mid-foot and forefoot or balls of feet.
What is best for you depends on your natural rhythm and.Land close to your body. The reason many runners run with a dramatic heel-striking gait is because they’re overstriding. Try to have your feet hit the ground as close to your body as possible by shortening your strides and increasing your stride cadence. Vary the surfaces you run on.
You’re about to land with 3-5x your body weight, you would ideally like the 26 bones of your foot and ankle to be stable. This impact and turning in of the foot and ankle is why the outside portion of our shoe wears.Of course, it varies by individuals, but at non-sprinting running speeds the feet will typically land “not-quite” directly in front of each other: if you were running on a lane line (those ar.Foot strike refers to the part of your foot that hits the ground when you run, and plays an important role in maintaining your pace.

It is best to land with a flat foot and to avoid.”Using a rear-foot and forefoot strike technique changes the loads experienced by your joints and muscles when running which can pre-dispose you to certain types of injuries,” Dr Ng said. “Forefoot strike runners are at greater risk of Achilles-type injuries while rear-foot runners are more likely to get knee pain.”.

can you tell me what model of Hoka were you wearing on that shot during 2:50? the sole seems to be really soft on impact
I was watching this while walking my dog
I looked like a gta character when you want to walk to look normal but realize that it is too slow
Thanks, this makes things clear very efficiently. I think I could improve my run style and prevent some knee pain I have been starting to experience lately.
If my joints are already affected, how would I go about fixing that? (PLEASE ANWSER!!!!!!!)
I have spent months researching into cures for plantar fasciitis and found an awesome resource at Natural Foot Wizard (google it if you’re interested)
I find information on the internet to be overwhelming at times. Trying to get in shape for boot camp and need some help fixing my running technique. You’ll have a video like this advocating for The mid-footbstrike but then there’s a vid in the recommendations list that’s like “nah man, landing on your toes is the way to go!”. Too much conflicting information, might as well go back to the heel-strike
bought new Asics shoes went for a 5k… got PF… that was a bummer:/
Had this for the past 11 months in both feet! I’d definately reccommend sorting it as soon as you get it. The only thing I’ve found to help is to rest between excersizing. And running on fields feels way better than tarmac
I get it, dealing with a broken big toe from minimal trail running. I hit a root, but I was told to force a big foot side, I bet the small toe would come more natural-when I get back ill check on this
I began dealing with plantar fasciitis over a decade ago and I thought there is nothing that can handle my condition. I was in fact wrong about that since I found and tried this plantar fasciitis treatment method “Sαnkυnzο Kdα” (Google it) 3 weeks ago. The discomfort is now completely gone. I still cannot imagine that I`m cured. I am also pleased for the fact that I was able to cut back over 100 USD on acupuncture..
I’m watching this because dad told me to learn how to run on the balls of my feet before track starts
Thank you so much for the video! I am pretty new to running, started about 2 months ago. And a lot of your explanations for why I might be feeling pain are all things I have been doing incorrectly. I will take your advice and make the corrective actions to my training routine. Thanks again
This is a stupid question, but when running my pelvis is slightly forward. Someone told me no, no, must be straight. Do I have to change that?
Another excellent video! Unfortunately I’ve had it and all the advice you gave I’ve used! With the add on of insoles or heel cups, I used Enertor they got me through ironman lanza last year!
I had it on the left foot in 2005. Had an injection and started running too soon. Bad idea (the injection), the tissue teared, the foot became unstable. Had to have complex surgery and now run with 4 screws in the foot. Currently experiencing it on the right foot. Stretching, massaging with a baseball and taking sufficient rest between runs helps significantly.
Awesome info! I keep getting shin splints and with basic coming up I can’t afford to be in pain for a week at a time after a long run!
Fuck, after taking this advice my actual muscles instead of my joints hurt. This whole channel is the gospel of fitness
I’ve noticed I don’t get it when I train barefoot (muay thai) but when I run I get it even if its like 5-8 km, perhaps I need to get better shoes. But I do walk on my job 20 km +, every day, and after 7 years my pf got healed but then I got it on the other foot �� now I do a lot of stretching and kickboxing but towards the end of summer I’ll start running again.
Excellent info, but on future videos, please get clearer verbiage from the lady. Her speech is not clear, and you absolutely can’t make out what she’s saying“enunciate” those words for the cameraI want to hear every word ����❤️
Thanks so much though for the tips!
It has been 5 years since I experienced plantar fasciitis discomfort and I wasn’t able to stop it by using different medications. When I found plantar fasciitis guidebook “Sαnkυnzο Kdα” (Google it). It required only under a week to alleviate the discomfort completely. I reached the fantastic outcomes 3 months ago and I’m so happy that I no longer feel the discomfort brought on by the problem..
I just watched this whole video, and apparently I was already doing everything right.
honestly, I’be been running heel strike since for two months and i’ve had no problems with my body. I’ll give this a try but i know it’ll feel unnatural
Very nice video. He explained very nicely how it is to be done to avoid injuries. I hv sustained a knee injury recently n hence know how important is this video.
Good job Athlean X
Great video overall, well structured, with good explanations and easy-to-understand tips. Also, the camera is placed well to allow us to see exactly what you mean. Nice work. I’m definitely trying that drill.
Thank you for the advice shared on this video, I tried switching to minimalist shoes last year and hurt the 2nd metetasals in both feet. I am now trying again first with some zero drop shoes and I followed your advice this morning, I had no problems with my metetasals and also my runners knee felt much more comfortable.
I can respect a man who sets up in the road to make a 9 minute video with his back to oncoming traffic. Nerves of steel
Hoka’s a great shoe. I started running in the Stinson about three years ago, and it’s reduced a lot of inflammation.
i have it real bad in my right foot, its like walking on a knife!
My right foot heel strikes and my left foot mid strikes.. wtf is wrong with me
Such an informative video, thank you! I thought I was running incorrectly so over compensated by unknowingly running toe-strike which felt highly unnatural to me. Yhis video confirms I was actually running correctly all along!
Really useful tips. Unfortunately I had treatment from an osteopath who wrenched the ankle so badly causing a syndesmotic sprain. I have been unable to run for a number of years and am now having an operation, so hopefully on the road to recovery, but prevention definitely better than “cure” in my case!
tried this and got nasty friction burns on the balls of my feet
Thank you for such an informative video. It is possible for you to create a video on which muscles are required to be strengthened in the long run.
I gonna see my physiotherapist this week. I have some pain in the morning and had complained of stiff lower calf 3 months ago. Thanks for making this video
Thanks for making this video, my hip flexor is really bothering me and I think it’s because of how I step using my heel. I just subscribed. Thanks again!
Having a heel strike is fine, as long as you don’t have the breaking motion you described. Many of the best long distance athletes have one, it’s such a myth and a lot of people get injured from switching to a heel/mid strike to a forefoot strike.
