  • Good tips here!
    I would add that trying to reach the front foot too far will contribute to heel strike. Allowing the foot to land just barely in front of the body is better, though it does shorten the stride quite a bit. Consequently, it helps to let the back foot stay on the ground longer, rolling through the toes more completely. The end result is only a slighter shorter stride than previously.

    great video! i see lots of video about barefoot running to promote their shoes. mostly for vibram fivefingers cos thats what i wear ... but this is so much better as it provides drills to fix your posture. hmm ... i might just try a pair of evos=)

    This video was quite inspiring. The same day I saw it I went for a run in the park in trainers but trying to use more of my forefoot. I over did it I guess but It was a good feeling even though my calf muscles were aching a bit. A few days later after I finished another run, in the morning, after rain although the sun had came out, I took off my shoes and went for another 2 laps barefoot. It was lovely! It was still a little wet in places, but even running through the wet parts was great. It put a real smile on my face, something I'll never forget. I'm so glad I didn't have a chance to buy my next running shoes - I'll be looking for the thinnest soled lightest pair I can find that's for sure. Oh, and this was on concrete, as I've been running on grass recently because of shin splints, but running like this I didn't feel them at all.

    I used to run on the balls of my feet (when I first started running) b/c I thought it felt more natural, then I got really bad tendonitis at the tendon on the inner side of the ankle (Tibialis Posterior Tendinitis). I transitioned to heel-toe running and felt much better. I love the way toe-heel running feels initially but maybe b/c my arches are SOOO high I am more prone to tendonitis? I worry about my arches b/c they are extremely high and usually I need a good supportive shoe with a heel lift for running. Any suggestions for those of us with wickedly HIGH arches?
