Manage episode 479903536 series 2414150

What if 80,000 tiny mistakes were the reason your body feels destroyed after a race?
Most runners don’t need to completely change their form—they need to understand it. This episode breaks down heel, midfoot, and forefoot striking, and why overstriding—not the footstrike itself—is the biggest problem. You’ll learn the science behind impact forces, how to work with your body’s natural stride, and how shoe choices like heel drop play a huge role in your mechanics. Whether you’re a beginner or advanced, you’ll walk away with practical steps to reduce injury risk and run more efficiently... without overthinking it.
Key Takeaways
- There’s no perfect foot strike, but overstriding is always bad.
- Different footstrike styles load the body differently—find what works best for you.
- Shoe choice and heel drop can nudge your footstrike in helpful or harmful ways.
