Thanks very useful, i think i need to become much more flexible as when I'm running i feel allot more constrained than those runners look, although I've never really seen my self run.

Actually, this is pretty close to barefoot running technique. The knee bend and foot landing under the center of gravity are two key elements. And for most of them, when the foot hits the ground, it's pretty close to midfoot.

Marathon dates back to the ancient Greece when a Greek man runs for miles only to inform the Greeks that the Persian invasion were repulsed in a battle known as the Battle of Marathon. unfortunately,i don't know the exact date it happened but i can recommend marathon athletes viewing this video complete marathon and half marathon training guides. plz contact me through ksatriakmal@yahoo.com if u r interested in marathon training.tq
