[quote=Anonymous]Regarding the topic of running on balls of feet, that advice is just not good. I had heard the same thing as I started running, but if you take it literally it results in an unnatural gait that can lead to excess strain to certain parts of your feet and legs. [b]IF[/b] your natural gait has too much heel strike, you can try adjusting it by thinking of a slight “wiping your feet” motion. You land middle of foot, and then slightly “push the road behind you” with the wiping motion, resulting in a push off more from the balls of the feet. It’s slight, not as if you’re actually vigorously wiping your feet. If you don’t have too much heel strike, just try going with your natural gait. I have found that my natural gait is just fine as it is. I do think of the wiping my feet motion as I run up hills, where I want a bit more ball of feet action.[/quote]
