If you follow these techniques you'll be injured in no time. Tell me if you feel pain after trying this guys method. If you do, then it's obviously wrong.

I SAY NO TO HEEL STRIKING!!!!!!!

You talk about avoiding wasted energy, but you heel strike....something's not lining up.

Please don't run long-distance with a heel-to-toe foot strike! It will lead to injury, as the heel is a *terrible* shock absorber. It is also not the most efficient way to run.
Anyone interested in a more natural and less injury-prone way to run should search online for "Barefoot Ted" or go to your nearest library and borrow the book "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall. This information will get you started on a healthy and joyful path to injury-free long-distance running!

Toe and mid-foot for all distances, unless walking. For long distance even more vital. Even though the impacts are not as strong as in sprinting, their quantity and persistence will effectively injure the heel-landers.

Most scientific studies I've seen say that landing on your mid-foot is best for running long-distance.
Interesting. I was always taught that heel running was the worst possible form for long distance work and that you should aim for the mid foot -> balls of your feet to avoid constant concussive strain on the knee joins by landing heel-toe.
