@gildedman i ran comrades this year in vibrams and after 55kms i was also heel striking, i'd like to see any other amaetuer running after 50kms running perfectly

heel strike, you're running wrong.

@GildedAlien Mid-foot strikes work too- I'd like to see you tell Leif he's running wrong as he finishes a 100 miler. -like he's doing today in the Angeles Crest 100. The foot strikes you're judging here allow him to run multiple Ultras per year injury-free.

@GildedAlien - Actually if you look closer you'll see that the time of actual impact is when his midfoot touches the ground.

True heelstriking is practically impossible without shoes.

@GildedAlien I've seen this so many times now - some noob who just learned that "heel striking is bad" comes across something like this video and pretends he knows what the fuck he's talking about. Sorry noob. This dude is not the evil heel-striker you read about. Keep reading. It's a little more complicated that your brain currently grasps.

@GildedAlien No, Alien. Actually I love you. May your heels never touch the pavement.
