Yeah the reason people get injured is from heel striking. You will run "pain free" if you land on your mid foot, this will also make you a faster runner. This lady obviously is not a good runner because any good runner knows that a mid foot strike is the best.
COMPLETELY WRONG! Watch any marathon runner, they land approx middle of foot and roll to ball of foot. Your heal should never hit the ground. Never heal strike. Sore calves and shin splints are like any other workout pains, signs your out of shaoe
Where did you learn that?¿ What you say is what you have to avoid!! Heel strike is really bad for you, specially for the knees. I'm gonna flag this video, since it's giving a bad advice. And people starting to run, please look for more videos, and you'll see what is correct.
I think the best advice is to run whatever way is comfortable for you. For one, don't ever "strike" the pavement! Rule of thumb (toe): relax and don't worry too much about what your feet are doing unless you're getting shin splints, etc.
The fact that you phrase it as a heel-toe STRIKE belies the shallowness of the knowledge given here.. You should not be STRIKING the pavement unless you want to cause injury. Run gently for the least strain, and don't adhere to all these pedants trying to tell you the RIGHT way to run. Humans evolved from tree-swingers to the most competent long-distance running animal ON THE PLANET. African hunters can run for DAYS without "heel-toe". I'm pretty sure you can figure out your gait for yourself.
I run from heel to toe and that shit is painful and energy consuming..this lady be trolling.. I'm working on my technique and it's sad how this came up.
Oh. I might add, go watch Ryan Halls video on foot strikes. He's the fastest american marathoner and he sure as hell doesn't run how this lady runs. He runs correctly.
Not very bright. I've been using Vibrams now since July. Easily run 8 miles several times a week and more and haven't gotten any shin splints, because I run now with midfoot/ball landings. I used to get shin splints all the time, so I know what will work for me. So don't listen to her. Run how you feel is good for you. Only you can figure that out. Not some random lady on YouTube.
i like the confused look on her face when she starts talking about tight calves and shin splints. it because she has no clue what shes talking about. shin splints are cause from heel strike.

She's the person that walks a marathon and tells her friends she "ran a marathon". This lady is a total dolt. In fact, the heel strike is what will cause shin splints due to the contracting of the muscle when on the toes and the sudden heel strike while the muscle is contracted.
I see every one saying shes wrong and nobody telling any one how to do it right... If your going to trash these statements, do me and everyone else a favor and tell us how to do it properly...
One of the first Youtube videos where I completely agree with all the comments. This video is like something from an alternate universe. Do not do this.
Expert?? REALLY? Expert of n00bs, that's what she is, please do not follow her advice. She is absolutely full of shit, heel strike will only get you injured. WOW
DO NOT FOLLOW HER ADVICE ON HEEL TO TOE RUNNING. THIS IS WRONG (OUTDATED INFORMATION)!!! YOU'LL HURT YOURSELF IN THE LONG RUN AND CUT YOUR RUNNING LIFE EARLY.
I ran heel to toe for about 1 and 1/2 years up until I suffered a stress fracture in April. Once I get back to running in July, I'm going to start running with Vibrams and run from ball to heel. I've been doing extensive research on running and training because I want to run in college, but I still need to shave off a couple minutes to be able to do so. Through research, I figured out that all my injuries I had received which constantly slowed down my improvement came from heel to ball. RESEARCH
there's a reason you've seen a lot of people running up on their toes........it's a LOT less damaging than running on your heels. To all new runners watching this, I'm sorry for this lady's stupidity but don't run this way. Look at a midfoot strike if you're interested in running without tons of nagging injuries
I am a runner and towards the beginning of my career i ran heel toe and suffered from so many injuries i can't even list them, but i altered my stride to mid foot or toe running and now i run with no pain and injure free. This video is wrong she has it backwards. Heel to Toe ruins legs and mid foot or toe running is the absolute best form it has been scientifically proven.
I flagged this video due to "damaging activities"! Because of people teaching this running technique to me at an early age my knees are now permanently worn out. Don't let this "expert" ruin your body!
This is unbelievable, why the hell are you telling people to run this way? You dont even know why you are saying what your saying, cause if you did, you wouldnt say anything at all.
Youtube should ban expertvillage! They are leaders in spreading misinformation! They don't even have a disclaimer. Lot they don't even show her feet in this video. Amateurs!
running on youre heel causes shin splints because the muscles in the shins are still flexing while you hit the ground. u wouldn't dare to run on your heals if your were not waring shews, its not natural at all. find out how you naturally run with out footwear and stick with it wearing a minalist shew.
I have had knee problems for last 12 years and haven't been able to run much. I changed to barefoot style 2 months ago (toe to heel), and I got rid of all my knee problems.
Heel to toe strike? This is exactly what I was doing before being forced to quit running for 2 years because of back pain. Until the day I started to run barefoot...
I will never wear one of those joint killing modern running shoes again!
the part of the foot hitting the ground first is really not that important, what matters is where the foot makes contact in relation to the body's center of mass...... I can't believe how nuts people are going about the proper forefoot striking technique...you can land on your heel and still absorb most of the impact through the midfoot
When you strike the ground with the heel, at the center of mass, you have just stifled your forward momentum. When it come to pace, foot strike and placement is crucial. Heel striking is never efficient, not even in walking.
@bezumnik There is no way you kan do that. Only thing that drives you to you midfoot after a heel strike is your momentum. So, you heel strike, glide to your midfoot-forefoot, and push of (efficient?). Impact is absorbed in your knee and hip, no absorption in ankle .
THIS IS 100% FALSE,Try running with out shoes on your heel.Its not going to happen.Most talented African Runners Like HAILE have a pure natural Ball of the foot running gait
Allow you to run longer distances more comfortably with a heal to tow stike? Are you KIDDING me? Heal to toe is like putting on the BRAKES with every step, damaging your back, hiops and knees on each strike. This woman is a danger to beginning runners and this video should be BANNED.
this lady is dumb as hell. i use to run heal to toe, and got horrible shin splints. after improving my form tocrunning on the balls, the pain went away
I coach a female runner who runs heel toe who came to me today complaining of knee problems!! Heel Toe puts excess pressure on the knee!!! I have been working with this girl to land just behind the ball of her foot.
Everything said in this video is completely WRONG. I run marathons. If you take this womans advice then you will suffer many twisted ankles until you permanently wear out your knees!!
What in the world is this?! EVERYONE knows that striking the heel brakes the body AND causes SHIN SPLINTS and other injuries. This is wrong, wrong, WRONG!
Sorry but I changed my technique so I land on the balls of my feet and not my heels. They same technique when all humans run with barefeet. As a result I've had no injuries. Landing on my heels always gave me shin splints, pull calf muscles sore knees so in my personnel opinion heel striking doesnt work, not for me anyway!
You can get shin splints from forefoot striking, as i have, but you just have to work up to long distances. However heel striking is multiple leg injuries waiting to happen!
@mrcelite - Your comment made me laugh! You're absolutely right and your words are great. I've just started undoing the bad habits such as heel strike and it is making a world of difference in my running.
this is the worst advice i have ever heard. i'm a freshman in high school and i know that this i wrong. when u heel strike the pressure from your landing is shot back up your leg at 2 times the strength. this will cause shin splints plantar fachiaitus. anybody who watches this video should disregard it completely.
Wow, I cant believe expert village still has this video up. Hahahaha "what you wanna do when you run is hit your heel ahead of your body slowing you down and sending tons of force through your body"
Good advice, and she looks like she can run, not like most of the haters commenting. Most of the haters, if not all, are FAT, LAZY, KNOW IT ALLS, who have never done any real running and never will because they are lame.
@barra567 like you? You have no idea what you are talking about. BTW...I have been running for 17 years. I am not fat and lazy. You are definately not a runner because if you were, you would know this is the wrong way to run. Your just a troll tryingto start trouble. This will be my last post to you...I dont care what your reply is.
The fact that she calls it a strike tells you the aggressive and harmful nature of the technique. Running should be fluid and smooth, not sharp and jarring.
Issues with the calves? How about strength in the calves? And my shin splints were A LOT worse with heel-striking. In the case of running technique, natural is just better than artificial.
The thing with heel/midfoot running is this: When you land on your midfoot (or forefoot) you have to involve your calves muscles, wich results in a much better shock absorbing motion and protects your knees. The probles is those muscles are not too big, and they become tired much easier than your thigh muscles. Now, when you run "heel landing" you don´t involve your calves muscles, get less tired but get way more impact tranferred to your knees...This is two sides of the coin.
yeah how about we strip butt naked and you get to run 10km with your heel strike and i get to run 10k with my forefoot strike ? no animal on the planet runs on his heels, my dog doesnt or my cat, why should i do it ?
The pained look on her face tells me she does not agree with what she is saying. Or maybe that is her dumb face and she actually believes the word coming out of that hole in her head that somebody does to insert her foot in. Running on your toes causes shin splints, really!?!?! How about heel striking causes shin splints because you have to lift your toe to heel strike.
Land on your forefoot and use your calves as springs like they were intended. Do no use your bony heel ad a shock absorber!
This video must've been filmed by the multi-billion dollar athletic shoe industry who want you to keep buying their $120 motion-controlled pieces of junk which promote bad form such as the heel-strike.
and......where are the feet? oh yeah they are running of your voice? hehehe

Sorry but I changed my technique so I land on the balls of my feet and not my heels. They same technique when all humans run with barefeet. As a result I've had no injuries. Landing on my heels always gave me shin splints, pull calf muscles sore knees so in my personnel opinion heel striking doesnt work, not for me anyway!

You can get shin splints from forefoot striking, as i have, but you just have to work up to long distances. However heel striking is multiple leg injuries waiting to happen!

@mrcelite - Your comment made me laugh! You're absolutely right and your words are great. I've just started undoing the bad habits such as heel strike and it is making a world of difference in my running.

this is the worst advice i have ever heard. i'm a freshman in high school and i know that this i wrong. when u heel strike the pressure from your landing is shot back up your leg at 2 times the strength. this will cause shin splints plantar fachiaitus. anybody who watches this video should disregard it completely.

Which side are you on?
I know that Mid foot-forefoot is best.
You are stating that stronger calfs prevent shinsplints?
I would agree. Also if you touch mid foot or forefoot, the tibalis anterior
muscles can't be contracted. They are contracted when you
heel strike, because the foot has to be dorsi flexed.
Your comment came after mine so I was wondering if
you were commenting on my statement. Just I am more of an ignoramus,
than an idiot. Take care

Good advice, and she looks like she can run, not like most of the haters commenting. Most of the haters, if not all, are FAT, LAZY, KNOW IT ALLS, who have never done any real running and never will because they are lame.

@barra567 like you? You have no idea what you are talking about. BTW...I have been running for 17 years. I am not fat and lazy. You are definately not a runner because if you were, you would know this is the wrong way to run. Your just a troll tryingto start trouble. This will be my last post to you...I dont care what your reply is.

The fact that she calls it a strike tells you the aggressive and harmful nature of the technique. Running should be fluid and smooth, not sharp and jarring.

All of the videos which advocate mid-foot/forefoot strike stat why mid-foot/forefoot strike is better.
I would like to be objective: please tell me why the heel-toe strike is better.
When you strike with the heel, you apply a braking force that slows your momentum and sends a shockwave up your shin.
Where am I wrong?

Issues with the calves? How about strength in the calves? And my shin splints were A LOT worse with heel-striking. In the case of running technique, natural is just better than artificial.

ABOUT258dirtybeaners 1 year ago
The thing with heel/midfoot running is this: When you land on your midfoot (or forefoot) you have to involve your calves muscles, wich results in a much better shock absorbing motion and protects your knees. The probles is those muscles are not too big, and they become tired much easier than your thigh muscles. Now, when you run "heel landing" you don´t involve your calves muscles, get less tired but get way more impact tranferred to your knees...This is two sides of the coin.

yeah how about we strip butt naked and you get to run 10km with your heel strike and i get to run 10k with my forefoot strike ? no animal on the planet runs on his heels, my dog doesnt or my cat, why should i do it ?

This is opposite of POSE running and/or ChiRunning. Who is correct? Have your say.

The pained look on her face tells me she does not agree with what she is saying. Or maybe that is her dumb face and she actually believes the word coming out of that hole in her head that somebody does to insert her foot in. Running on your toes causes shin splints, really!?!?! How about heel striking causes shin splints because you have to lift your toe to heel strike.
Land on your forefoot and use your calves as springs like they were intended. Do no use your bony heel ad a shock absorber!

TAKE THIS VIDEO OFF!!! Heel striking and wearing padded running shoes is the reason why shin splints occur and other leg related injuries!!!!!

This video must've been filmed by the multi-billion dollar athletic shoe industry who want you to keep buying their $120 motion-controlled pieces of junk which promote bad form such as the heel-strike.
