Distance Runners need a proper footstrike and this shows proper running technique. Often there is a mistake in overstriding because of a slow cadence or stride rate. This leads to a heelstrike , but often runners try to over correct this form by forcing a toe strike or landing on their toes! Ideally you land more midfoot or with the whole foot....not even a fore foot landing (unless you're a sprinter or going uphill !). Follow along for more running tips by a pro coach!

Ah, no wonder my feet hurt after 5 minutes of running

Remember guys, consistency builds form. Your body will adapt. You need to be patient and stay consistent.

I rarely run. I did track one year and my heels were burning up. I started running again just for myself and my pain returned. I’ll definitely try this out

[momew]

Yes correct, , i applied this and my distance run very smooth, , only used front toe a few meter before finish to sprint 🎉🎉

[anzaninetshitangani]

I've a bad case of shin splints coz of the second method. Thank for the insightful vid

[carlosvaz]

Your knee joints, hip flexors and lower back will thank you for doing this

[piwo]

Yes!
Thanks for explaining simply that landing under your body is actually the key, whether it’s a heel strike or more of a midfoot strike.
There is usually a misconception about heel striking and not many people understand that overstriding is a bigger mechanical issue.

I never knew I needed a tutorial on running

[Girlwithastache]

So when I was little I walked on my tiptoes. Eventually I grew out of it, but I learned to run on my tiptoes and never stopped. My friends make fun of me for it but yet I’m faster than them 🤨

[RycastFitness]

Great video, simple and to the point! Thanks Sage.

[SkyeGussenhoven]

Everyone always told me I was wrong for mid food striking and that I need to toe strike but it just seems so much more energy efficient and natural

[VaraohGaming]

Bet I'm going to try to do this consecutively with my daily runs from now on

[foamflinger]

FINALY! this is one of the first videos that shows how to properly strike the florr compared to how most people run on any surface. although if you're running on a super soft surface like a trampoline or something similar it may be more okay to heel strike however it might be less comfortable.

[GlobetrotterUptown]

Never knew these techniques.... Thanks for sharing ❤

[NormanBarrr]

This helped me so much!
This summer, I won't have to quit due to knee pain!

[MoBH]

Don't worry where your foot lands, just make sure it's close or at centre of gravity. I am a heel striker and when I tried to force myself to midfoot strike, even landing at centre of gravity I got badly hurt on my foot, mainly my achilles. Never going back to midfoot or toe strike, in my experience it's better to just focus on landing below centre of gravity and the rest of proper running techniques

[centerphil]

Just made some adjustments in my foot strike position a couple weeks ago. I’ve been running on my heels for the last year😅

[ch-qdwb]

Many pros have a heel strike first but the land on their heel with a bent leg and switch really quickly from heel to toe. You should not try to modify your running form, just aim for a 170-180 spm and your form will get better over time

[Barefootclimber]

I've always done a mid foot strike.
If you try run and strike you toe down first like some animals, it puts alot of strain of the foot and ankle.
And heel strikes simply send a strong vibration up the leg, no dampening affect.
So mid foot is best

Wow, I went for a run today and implemented this and for the first time I actually went 3km (1.8 miles)without stopping at all, usually before I’d either get super tired or my body would need a rest and then I’d walk but today it felt like I could go again even after finishing the route, I just felt like I shouldn’t push myself too much and if I feel really good tomorrow I’ll go twice on that route. My heels weren’t hurting at all, usually I’d feel pain in my feet when running.
