Improper running technique. Strike on the forefoot, or ball of your foot, not the heel.

It's simple, put on a pair of vibrams and run using your ball of your foot for strike area. If you can only run 1 mile like that, then you can only run 1 mile, don't be stupid and hurt yourself.

The whole purpose of these shoes is to not heel strike. If you want to keep using them, you'll have to relearn how to run properly, or else face potentially worse injuries than those from padded shoes.

haha why buy those shoes if you're going to heel strike? try some merrells it seems like they make you run on the balls of your feet! but you my friend should get some brooks ghosts!!!!!

[12bmaz]

wear real shoes if you are going to run like that, please....

@MyAndydany wrong form. You're not supposed to land on your heel. It's really hard on your knees and hips to run this way.

[Bebopopotamus]

That was about as Mid-foot as it gets.

[roxtar55]

It's really not that severe of a heel-strike, assholes.

[TheKingdomofErnor]

The way your foot landed looked painful.

@TheQuietObserver01 Yeah, Bikila had a dorsiflex ankle at landing, where the lower leg was perfectly vertical. Theres a lot of runners that do this. Its not the best style for speed but works for long distance races. The guy above doesnt do it very well. hes way over striding and the pulling back to save it, but in the mean time hes having to bounce up and down to accomplish it. He needs higher knee lift to fix it. then he could put his foot straight down instead of straightening his leg.
