What?? pause at exactly 0:32 first runner has a perfect form! relaxed and not wasting energy! and the body falling forward, his foot looks like is goin to land on heel but is not, now pause at 1:10 the second runner takes his feet too forward and the feet is in the ground a lot of time because is making too much effort to take the whole body in movement which by the way is very vertical, sure you are goin fast but that would increase your heart rate and you'll eventually blow thumbs up if agree

The relaxation of the 1st runner and the form of the 2nd runner would be more ideal; the second runner is trying so hard to hold Pose form, the upper body looks like you're power-strutting. Relaxation is key to fluid mechanics

Better dresser is subjective ... very. You look like a damned speed-walker.

2nd. runner. some tips. you need to bring your hips forward when you run, you actually not activating your hamstrings as glute's to thier full extent . you use your IT bands as the dominate muscle. you have very tight IT bands i assume.

For comparison, look at a native of a African tribe who never wore shoes in his life, and runs a lot. :)

Runner #1 ran in bulky trainers (probably 12-15mm difference between heel and toe) while just barely heel striking). Runner #2 ran in Kinvaras (with a 5mm difference between heel and toe) and landed solidly mid-foot. While I understand the benefits of midfoot striking, this video wasn't a very solid example.

slick video. the more the better, people need to stop working through pain and damaging themselves imho :-)
To me it looks like your brother doesn't even need to heel strike even in those big bulky shoes. His foot is right under his center of gravity when it lands so it looks like he is almost purposefully pointing his toes up to get that heel down first. You look like you might be pushing off to much and if you were to run barefoot would quickly develop all kinds of blisters - and indication of loss of efficiency.
