Good info! I think ill go with 'natural' for now, keeping an eye for too intense heel strike.
23 April 2020
RUN 7K @ 46:50
Went comfortable at all times.
Watch workout benefit assessment : limit. I disagree, it was a pace workout. HR was high ( average 148 ) but it was easy and was kinda fresh at the end.
i think it's a mistake to overanalyze your foot strike. it'll naturally be different at different paces and on different surfaces and may change over time as you get stronger and fitter. being too intentional about it is a recipe for injury IMHO. there's no universal "ideal" footstrike or running posture.
cool to see you adding volume steadily.
Could we say that heel first is a recipe for disaster though? I think anything other that that is where you want to be.
no, i don't even think that's necessarily true. https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/the-running-blog/2014/oct/09/is-heel-striking-the-enemy-of-good-running-form
I should clarify what I see when I think of heel strike. I see that leg fully extended and straight. Overstriding and that massive force going through the heel being partially cushioned by the mattress being worn under the guise of a shoe (otherwise knows as Hokas).
I read the article though and here's what stood out to me:
- heel striking is generally seen to be less than ideal.
- studies suggest that changing foot strike can just change the loaded area for potential injury
- speeding up cadence will positively affect running form (=less heel strike)
- researchers found at the 5 mile stage of a marathon 93% of runners were heel striking (fewer of the faster runners landed on their heels)
- foot strike cannot an independant change. Alterations to cadence and strengthening must be taken into consideration
- AND anyone who commented in the article runs doesnt' heel strike haha
I really like this article too.
https://therunningclinic.com/runners/blog/archives-anglaises/why-a-majority-of-runners-even-among-international-elites-are-heel-strikers/
With the main points being:
3. The majority of these good level athletes, however, have what we call a"prorioceptive heel strike" (the foot flattens smoothly as soon as it hits the ground). We believe this way the foot grounds is no more harmful and no less effective than midfoot or forefoot striking because it doesn't involve a strong braking phase or brutal impact force.
and
6. The heel strike is not the only thing to look at. A heel strike may be acceptable if the shinbone is vertical, the knee is bent, and the impact loads just in front of the center of gravity. A biomechanical analysis must therefore be global. The 4 biomechanical clues which often combine and express the same problem are:
- less vertical orientation of the tibia/shinbone
- deceased knee flexion during contact
- ground contact far ahead of the center of gravity
- the heel strikes the ground first
So maybe in summary, heel strike under the right conditions isn't a bad thing. Heel strike for the general population without consideration of overall running form potentially is.

gf bike accompaniment. first time wearing new running sunglasses, felt nice not to have to squint, lol. i feel like i look like a bit of a doofus but whatever.
hey adarq, ever since you started long distance running have you preferred jumping off 1 or 2?
sup man!
didn't jump much during running phase but, definitely preferred jumping off 1.
pc!
yo. oh i see. yea my thoughts here are that running long distance is going to decrease explosiveness, so going off 1 foot may be better because it relies less on pure strength/explosiveness. thanks
cool.
yea dno. you have alot less time to generate force in a slrvj. dlrvj u can spend more time on the ground and generate force. long distance running reduces your RFD. so dlrvj might actually be better, theoretically. however, in practice, i think the slrvj motor pattern is more similar to running, so it gets some transfer. regardless, if you slrvj or dlrvj while running long distance, you can still keep your jumps respectable. i mixed running & max effort slrvj's for a little bit, and my slrvj was going up nicely - with no strength work other than lunges. so, "proper" strength work in addition to running + jumps, should be able to keep jumps up - obviously not peak but enough that keeps things interesting.
running also gives you some "good elastic qualities". just need the strength & rfd work as complementary work, and you can keep jumps up or improve them in the case of less trained people.
most long distance running athletes get in some good speed (sprint/stride work) occasionally to keep from turning into mush.
pc!
sounds good. thx a lot
Mmmmm, very nice looking!!!
I think that at that nuclear level the differences are not that big. Depends on the... 'piece', e.g. a very strong scorpion can be equally nuke with a very mild carolina.
The only thing that doesn't have a pair is a normal-to-strong carolina. That remains the weirdest thing ive ever tasted, brain doesn't comprehend WTF is happening, we all said together that the taste can only be described as 'toxic'. Still highly addictive lol. You can't stop, you want more, but you can't eat more coz its way too overwhelming. Sooo weird! Bud fun.
