Heel Strike Running Causes Overpronation. Forefoot Running Corrects It!

Heel strike running causes abnormal motions of the foot (i.e. overpronation) during stance that increases stress and strain on the lower leg as compared with forefoot running.

great video. I'm getting heavy into running but think I'm developing Plantar Fasciitis and have some pronation. Last time I bought shoes for help they just hurt my feet and I opted for a more lightweight minimal running shoe that feels fine. Now I'm just interested in some physical therapy to improve my running/landing technique. Thanks for the video.

Humans walk more than they run.. so I am hoping you can devote some of your videos to the art and the science of walking.

Maybe so. I see so many walking and and swinging their forefoot laterally outward with each step. However barefoot running will train your feet to stay parallel and as a side effect improve walking mechanics.

@@alancox3739 Could not agree more, if you watch alot of people walking barefoot for those in those countries where barefoot-ism ergh hate the term is shunned, actually walk with feet diagonally versus in a straight line, crab walking. Barefoot walking or just being barefoot will teach you pretty quickly what is anatomically correct by either super effcint biomechanics or pain.

Very true! And, thats a great idea for me to look into because I'm actually unsure if we're meant to walk forefoot vs heel strike? I think we may be geared more for forefoot walking because most toddlers walk forefooted and some East African runners who grew up running barefoot, like Tirunesh Dibaba, walk forefooted.
