What is forefoot running?

Newton Running founder Danny Abshire demonstrates the finer points of forefoot running: proper athletic position; finding your sweet spot; the difference between walking stride, jogging stride, efficiency running and spiriting; and using the "Land, Lever, Lift" technique to perfect your form.

That was one crazy looking sprint...

Tutorial is pretty good, but all this corporate sponsor/endorsement crap takes the joy out of it. You don't really need any Newtons to run. No shoes at all would do the trick as well.

1:47 and the gazelle runs ROIGHT in front of the camera!

@AwayFromKeyBoardGame I think he did lol

This video is good stuff...but...what about the Vibrams? I thought the human walked and ran for 1000s of years on their feet...meaning no shoes. Any cushion is like using a crutch for your muscles. (not to mention, not the most attractive shoes...the Vibrams are more hideous). I know injury and human foot hurting surfaces are everywhere but...the couch cushions on people's feet are laughable. The only reason for these is because for let's say 40 years people have been walking and running wron

WALKING AND RUNNING ARE NOT THE SAME TECHNIQUE....THERE USING DIFFERENT TECHNIQUES EACH OTHER....

If you try to force this technique it will put unnecessary strain on your lower legs which could lead to injury. Forefoot running will come naturally when you run faster. I have heard that a mid-foot strike is the most efficient.

@sonic16913  You don't sprint like that? ;-)

[AwayFromKeyBoardGame]

1:52 Did he just flip us off?

[NightFiron]

@ojcoops He did the sprint slow to show the movement.

[SilentShuttle]

@ojcoops That is nothing to brag about.
