You're definitely right! I should have mentioned in my video that I come from a forefoot running background (I've been a forefoot striker in all of my running shoes ever since high school). Therefore I was describing barefoot running form from the perspective of someone who is used to being on their toes all the time. Would it be ok if I gave you a shout-out in my next video as I talk about this distinction? @nawhead thanks for the tip! You’re definitely right!
