I think your point on heel striking can be misleading. Arguments are coming out and can be made a heel strike isn't necessarily bad, the most important thing is when the heel striking starts. If you strike your heel with an already bent knee you will be fine, contrary if you strike your heel with a straight leg and that heel is in front of the knee your leg will act as a brake and injury is more likely, right. We can see many pro marathon runners go injury free with a heel strike and that's because they heel strike with a bent knee . What I think is a bigger issue that is less talked about is the cross over gait. Do you have any opinion on a cross over gait?
I agree that landing over a bent knee is important in minimizing braking forces. I hold that heel striking is far from ideal. I do speak often about crossing midline with gait. Just didn’t bring it up in this video. Thanks for watching!
@@diazhp If this is true, how would you explain the biomechanics of us heel striking when we walk? Also another factor has to be distance, right.. the footstrike of a 100m vs 100 miler rightfully will be different.
So are you saying because we are landing when running there is more force. Therefore when running you'd rather have the calf foot and ankle muscles absorb more of the force? Or why specifically is it bad? What if those muscles are very weak and underdeveloped? Couldn't heel striking (NOT OVERSTRIDING) help absorb some of that pounding?

Is heel strike bad? 2017 London IAAF Biomechanical report Women's Marathon World Champs of 78 finishers, 57 (73%) were rearfoot strikers, 19 (24%) were midfoot strikers and two were forefoot strikers or are these elite women flat-earthers?

Apparently my website was messed up. It's now working properly, Thanks to those who gave me a heads!
There may be tons of channels, but this one is unique in that it explains things in a way easy to understand for beginners. Thanks for this vid. 👍
What a tease!
Is "the dark side" book the one they are referring to in the video?

can you activate the subtitles in different languages? that would be so sweet! I don't always understand everything. Best regards
I've definitely hurt both of my knees in the past. Both achilles tendons too 😂. But, yeah, generally, that's not what happens!

Simple answer. When we walk we are always in contact with the earth (no flight, no landing). Running properly is not limited to short distances.
So are you saying because we are landing when running there is more force. Therefore when running you'd rather have the calf foot and ankle muscles absorb more of the force? Or why specifically is it bad? What if those muscles are very weak and underdeveloped? Couldn't heel striking (NOT OVERSTRIDING) help absorb some of that pounding?
