  • and......where are the feet? oh yeah they are running of your voice? hehehe

  • video recording miss the foot action and become mere lecture without action.

  • summary: strike your ankle on the floor till you break them

  • Yeah the reason people get injured is from heel striking. You will run "pain free" if you land on your mid foot, this will also make you a faster runner. This lady obviously is not a good runner because any good runner knows that a mid foot strike is the best.

  • *shape

  • COMPLETELY WRONG! Watch any marathon runner, they land approx middle of foot and roll to ball of foot. Your heal should never hit the ground. Never heal strike. Sore calves and shin splints are like any other workout pains, signs your out of shaoe

  • I started giggling when she said "proper heel strike"

  • Where did you learn that?¿ What you say is what you have to avoid!! Heel strike is really bad for you, specially for the knees. I'm gonna flag this video, since it's giving a bad advice. And people starting to run, please look for more videos, and you'll see what is correct.

  • I think the best advice is to run whatever way is comfortable for you. For one, don't ever "strike" the pavement! Rule of thumb (toe): relax and don't worry too much about what your feet are doing unless you're getting shin splints, etc.
