Your gait looks much more natural now compared to your first video

@Seneca34M I guess the reason of the hard contact is the slow pace he's achieving, specially during the slowest speed (~165 spm [steps per minute]). After he speeds up the treadmill a little, reaching ~182 spm and then 190+ spm, things improve considerably. One should try to run 180+ spm to better use the elastic impulse of the foot and leg's tendons.

@tietie1424 You should run loose alright, but in some controlled way. You should not waste energy wiggling all around.

@7kire actually I learned in the military that you are supposed to stay loose in running, looking kind of like a raptor but I guess all famous runners know that huh.

Just wanted some king of audio commentary on how u evolved after four months in the 5fingers. How you like or dislike them now. Maybe how u trained ur legs, knees n feet to jog in them.

@Melopeed Extensor Hallucis Longus and Extensor Digitorum Longus. The springing of the foot's arch along with the muscles in the foot act as a spring to push him forward.

@Seneca34M What are EHL and EDLs?
-
@joeldrapper dude, very few gyms would let you run barefoot on their treadmills, youd have to clean the sweat off them before and after every use to keep them clean.
-
@joeldrapper how are you supposed to videotape yourself running like he is now without a treadmill? i think he's doing it for the video sake.
Try not to cross your hands in front of your torso. Arms should go back and forth, parallel to your legs -- not across.

You are making hard, HARD contact with that treadmill. Lots of noise means lots of banging and hard contact on your feet. You should be lightly stepping and your weight should be getting caught by your extensors EHL and EDLs, like springs or shock absorbers.
