    "Running is jumping." Oh, my gosh. That was an epiphany for me. Thanks.

    I’m 65, in good shape, but only running for 5 mos. After watching tips and running my 1st 5k, decided to iPad video my form on the treadmill. I thought I had a midfoot strike, but now see that I actually slightly heel strike. Did a tread session and kept changing form until I hit forefoot strike….way different than I thought! Now I have to start all over, as you say, with short sessions to avoid soreness. Thanks for all the tips!

    Thanks so much Eric. I am catching up on many of your videos and it is giving me much more motivation to improve my foot strike and foot strength. I have been running for 5-7 years without asking myself these questions... You are waking me up!!

    Funny you say zoning out. So I switched to forefoot strike early summer. I always run with music. But it’s more just a background thing because it’s hard for me to not think about form when I run. It’s probably because I really had to think about it to be able to switch and now it’s almost natural to have foot strike and form on my mind when I run

      Hey, any luck here? I have shin splints (on the inside of my shin bone) and i think it’s from running TOO far on my toes… not allowing my heel to touch the ground after my toes and spread the force. Did you have success with this?

    Ive always done forefoot strike and no one taught us how to run in high school. The body just seems to know what's right. So why don't all runners forefoot strike? I see some ELITE marathon runners that are out in front that do heal strikes and always wonder about that but if Kipchoge is in the race the heal strikers don't win the race but they are contenders

    So I never hear anyone say that jumping rope is a valuable exercise any more but I use to hear it all the time 40-50 years ago. I was plagues with Achilles tendon pain all year hiking (1500 miles) and I spend the winter of 2019 jumping rope and since 2020 I've never had any pain again . . . what's up with that? Was it the rest or the rope jumping that cured it?

    Heel drop and foot strike? - Specifically, what are your thoughts on everything in this video with regard to choosing heel drop in running shoes?
    With such a high heel drop (your Speedcross have about 10mm) how does that effect your stride and foot strike? I'm really curious and people seem to avoid the question.
    Thank you so much!!

    Eric, I love your videos but am confused. Don’t good runners land with a mid foot strike? I watch vids of Kenyans running and they seem to land flat or on mid foot?

  • @CSRunner7
    @CSRunner7 3 года назад

    Great video. I think I’ve got to be careful as when try to provide force into ground maybe risk it’s on landing rather then push off. So I guess a light impact the goal but then feel like you’re pushing back off quickly to minimise the ground contact time. Do you think getting higher cadence will naturally help with improving foot strike?

    • @BornToRunCoach
      @BornToRunCoach  3 года назад +4

      I think getting better foot strike and strength will help cadence, not the other way around. Cadence is usually a by product of this, so dive into foot strength, form and the drills and watch how cadence benefits. Trying to get better at cadence alone and independent is the wrong approach.

  • @kennethyuman1940
    @kennethyuman1940 Год назад

    Thanks for the great video. I am 60 and new to running. I have tried various points of impact on the foot: the more fore/front of the foot i use, the more soreness I get on the lower calf on a 3-5 K run. The soreness goes away in 2 days. Is this normal such that I just have to gain strength on the calf through the soreness? I avoid heel strike. The difference is between forefoot (near the toes) and flat foot.

    • @BornToRunCoach
      @BornToRunCoach  Год назад +1

      Make sure you are still allowing your heel to touch the ground, if you are keeping it elevated and off the ground this can continue to make your calves sore.

    3.12, looked like more of a mid foot strike to me? And when you jumped up onto the bench. Is it a matter of definition.
    ps, with you. Just takes such a long time. Being 65, and started running five years ago, trying barefoot style running for four years…still not there.
    Also, having a wide forefoot shoe is essential, allowing your foot to spread, is a point to emphasise. I noticed that when using one of my older standard width shoes.

    I've really been working on my forefoot strike and trying to increase my cadence. Now I've developed soreness in my left anterior tibial muscle (I think). I took a day off and ran 6.4 miles today at 160 spm average cadence. Didn't hurt much during the run but sore this evening. Advice?

    Eric, I just started the Cool Impossible. I am wondering about attempting the transition from heel strike to forefoot strike in the middle of my IM training. I have a half IM in 10 days and my A race in April 2022. Should I be attempting the switch during my hard training or should I wait? Thanks so much for the videos and the book.

    • @BornToRunCoach
      @BornToRunCoach  2 года назад +1

      Awesome, but I would definitely wait until after April. You do not want to be changing foot strike during high volume. So after your race is perfect, while you recover from the IM.
      With your bike calf strength, I hope it will be a quicker transition.
      Keep me posted on all things IM.
