I tried! it is kind of hard, i hurt my feet a couple of times, so i would rather use shoes.
thanks!
those looks cool!
thanks!
I never knew it was bad to land with your heels.
It is wrong what they say here that heel strikers use more energy, heel strikers roll their foot naturaly and go all the way to the front big toe to leep off from there, this is a natural gait movement for shock absorption, they don´t drive their heel into cement, they naturally roll it . Fore foot runners are constantly having thier foot arched and this can put pressure on the plantar fasciitis, this will eventuall break and tear. This infomecial is full of shit!
Plus if you youtube “Chi Running” you can learn to lean forward and run, also if you do calf stretches and every other stretch, you´re gait will have wider movement to run. Still this infomercial is full of shit.
Hey guys, could you help me out ? I love to run and enjoy the sparkly, clean, cleansed feeling I get after my runs, but after about a week or so of running every day, it’s as if my brain gets used to that great feeling and I stop getting it. It’s as if I build up a tolerance to it. Does anyone have any suggestions about what to do to ALWAYS feel amazing after my runs? Thanks!!
*mutes the video and plays “chariots of fire” theme song on it*
@betthisonesfree run more
The human body is built to become incredibly efficient at what it does habitually. If you run x kilometres every day, your body will quickly get awesome at doing that and then it won’t even phase you anymore. So basically you have to figure out how you can change things up.

put as mush of your effort in running and youll have the feeling back, push yourself so hard you feel like our going to die and puke after ur done when that happens ull feel it its about pushing yourself
type this in “how to lose inches off your waist line”
just as effective and its hilarious
i have a flat foot =/ so i cant do this
@Australiano75 thats not true. There was a study just done by Dr.Liberman at harvard naturally people land on their middfoot or forefoot
Have you got the link? I wanna see it. Thanks
excuse

alright, im a triathlete and during the winter ive ran less than 10 miles so im extremely out of shape running wise and i ran a mile on my forefoot for the first time yesterday and am going to give this new style 2 weeks and ill post again
Ok i trained a a fitness instructor and we were told that when running it should always be heel toe. By running the way these guys are saying it seems to me that over time some damage will occur to the joints within the foot. but what do I know.
@rycky1
It seems to me that the impact of heel striking would be much worse for your joints.
Your leg works like a shock absorber and it is much more natural for your body to use the mid-sole rather than the heel.
For example, try running a little bit with no shoes and your legs will not be able to take the shock. Why is this?
Either way this technique has greatly improved my opinion on running, now that my knees and upper legs don’t hurt from the impact of heel striking.
why would it be worse? infact studys show that high inpact exercise such as running increases the strengh of the skeleton. by running on the midfoot pressure is being applied to the joint in the foot which is going to cause damage. Instead of the impact being directed up through the leg muscles and skeleton the full force of the impact is smashing into the joint.
What I can say to people out there who are getting problems with their knees from running is, change the running surface ie try running on grass which will absorb some of the shock unlike concrete, dont change your running style rememer heel toe.
Sounds like bullshit to me but whatever, run how you like. Go try heel striking on packed dirt, or anything but grass and see what happens, then tell me how people managed to run without shoes for thousands of years. Heel striking is unnatural and there is no more joint pressure when using the front of the foot than coming down on your join with all of your body weight plus. Just because a fitness instructor told you doesn’t mean they or you were correct.
Join damage = your (bad) speculation
I am a fitness instructor and people dont run in bare feet any more we have shoes and if we didnt have shoes your feet would get used to it. you sound to me as if your on the payroll of this company!!
