Video

Information wise this video is very correct. As a runner that ran sprints long sprints and distance, you do have different forms. Full body. Cant wait to look at the foot video next. Your body is a machine.

Good review, thanks - your channel is teaching me a lot

Great review as always. I’m looking at these for both Road and trail so sounds perfect.its between these and the vruns

I love barefoot running!

Soy bogota donde las consigo

Good but Everytime I take them off the insoles try to pull out.

Does it also work for 5000 metres???

It’s about rotating the shoulder girdle backwards like a backstroke swimmer while you run. Kiptum showed the world that it was the best way to use the spinal engine. People are too blind and focus on arms and elbows, it’s a red herring.

Every pro runner runs barefoot. No wait...

I run forefoot but i still use proper shoes.

Good👍👍👍

This is not the reason. Natural elasticity is a contributive, but the main reason the forefoot’s generally faster is because it’s usually associated with footfall closer to the center of mass. Acceleration can’t begin in the stride until the hips pass the forefoot according to physics, so the less overstride = less time to falling forward & accelerating. If we reach out onto the forefoot overstride will occur, & the quicker acceleration advantage isn’t there. The closer to hip landing’s also the reason for less associated injury risk, & that is squandered as well if we reach out 🏃🏼‍♀️no matter what part of the foot lands first.

How is forefoot running compared to midfoot for speed and distance?

Inflammation is necessary for repair, removing inflammation is very stupid.

Last year I went on a 5k run that I was ready to skip out on due to hip joint pains. I focused on walking only on my front pads of my feet with NO heel strikes, completed the 5k and my hips and knees actually felt better. Only my calves were exhausted because I had never actually challenged them for that long a period of time. I was stiff for several weeks to a month..but not in pain. I was thrilled with the result and am looking at the sport line over the current daily wear with hemp material - which are my go to for super comfort going out and about.

Ok, so how do I fix this?

Your shinbones must be like metal from all that impact training. Super impressive

The contents are great, but the narration is painful to listen to.

I hadn’t realised there was a debate, I just thought people who landed on their heels were poor runners. Note: sound volume of foot fall equates to energy loss. On any running machine in a gym, one can tell the people that land on their heels, they are loud.

i had been landing on my toe and it cost me big time. ankle pain and i completely bonked my first marathon. so happy to have learned forefoot landing the correct way.

so many years awaiting

regular tutorial pls

thank s. lot .

nice analysis on the forefoot running..I noticed when I run with the heel striking the ground I start to get alot of back pain..Thanks for all the knowledge your sharing

What's wrong with slow running ? Aerobic runs are usually a part of any marathon training plan. You will "thud" the ground only if you are unfit and out of shape, or are a total newbie to running.

very informative video will check on my next run as well !!!! May God bless you for the good content made !

Now im confused why do more people say forefoot is more pressure on the calves. Please help

Is this sped up?

I’ve been trying to coordinate my arms and legs and fix my overstride for 2 years. This video fixed me literally immediately, thanks!! 🙏

Great review. They kinda remind me of old-school track shoes. The kind that had screw in spikes. I think I will buy some or the Primal Zen. Thanks for your attention to detail.

Tengo la costumbre de correr un o 2 veces por semana descalzo 5k y el pie se me inclinaba de forma natural hacia el lado exterior y me sentía bien y también comodo , cosa que no sucedia luego que usaba los zapatos de hecho bajaba el ritmo , gracias por esos detalles , saludos desde ecuador.

good god this video is worth more than 1000 of the other results on the front page. I'm so glad i found this I do think, you were trying to force the newscaster cadence for enunciation, but it does not suit your voice and your microphone quality is high enough that you did not have to do it. If you want to try the newscaster cadence regardless, I think with your version of the newscaster voice is going sound a bit different than the classic version you'd typically hear on TV. Its like you tried to force a forefoot strike in a high drop shoe, the result ended up sounding quite unnatural. But the content is 11/10 thank you so much

god i miss this style of video. Answered the exact question I had in 1 minute.

Very important is to start from zero if you change to barefoot!!!

She’s f***king cut!!

ever run on hot pavement barefoot/

excellent video but god your voice is grating i couldn't finish the video the audio is so badly recorded

One of the best video. I have ever seen on forefoot running.

The biggest issue with barefoot running is it takes time, effort, and determination to do it for the long term. Or - you can just spend a pile of cash on modern marshmallow shoes and go run long and hard immediately. Until you get hurt.

I just got through watching 4 CZcams videos “learntorun”. He basically promotes heel striking and avoiding the pose method emphatically. He also claims as a PT that when he taught the pose method to his patients he noticed an increase in injuries. I am really confused. My style is mid foot striking, lean and push and it seems to work fine

What if I'm still getting this after 2-3 years of this training?

Everyone is different .you can’t copy .not a good video

Hey i saw you run bearfoot on pavement. That i love about you. Any advice on how to keep my callous from getting shreaded off my foot? Or does that mean I'm running wrong?

heel strike is not a direct result of lower cadence... In fact theres like 20-30 steps per minute difference between top 10 marathon runners

Good to see a video from you again. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year. :)

When you fall and hit the ground you don't just stop, you continue falling and compressing into the ground. With very fast steps you can already be on to the next step before that happens, and choose between light and heavy steps depending on how good each bit of ground is...

This is completely wrong and has many contradictions. First, Dibaba is not "leaning." her upper body is tilted forward at the waist/hip. Instead of looking like a rigid metal pole, her posture resembles a pole that is bent in the middle (at the waist) due to that forward pelvic tilt. In running, this forward pelvic tilt has always been seen as a detriment because it prohibits the femur from achieving a full range of motion/amplitude, i.e.: allowing it to reach a position where it is parallel to the ground. That being said, when sprinters are compared to distance runners, distance runners do not put as much force into the ground as sprinters and there for a full range of motion/greater amplitude of the femur is not a focus in distance running. Nonetheless, a forward pelvic tilt does not allow for an efficient transition of forces to travel through the body and into the ground. If a hammer hits a bent nail, that nail will bend more as the forces are being directed in 2 directions. Second, tilting the pelvic girdle forward places undue stress on the lower back and hamstrings as well as the quads upon ground contact. Shifting that center of gravity slightly forward is akin to a front side squat with weights Vs. a regular squat with weights. Think about it....Have you ever seen Ethiopians carrying a jug of 5 to 10 gallons of water? They are carrying it on their back, not their front side. Why? It is more difficult to move forward with weight on the front side. This is one of the things that a forward pelvic tilt does....adds weight to the front side as that center of gravity has been shifted slightly forward. Third, the hamstrings are most active during the end of the swing phase of a running stride. When you "pull" your body forward (as this video suggests) the hamstrings must also engage. So, this video is implying that the hamstrings engage upon extension, ground contact, and during the pulling action. This would mean the hamstrings are engaged throughout the greater portion of cyclic turnover. I would argue that is simply not the case. Fourth...you will notice in the video that Dibaba's calf muscle concentrically contracts and relaxes once her foot leaves the ground in her back-side mechanics in order to begin the recovery phase. This is evidence that her foot is actually pushing her forward (dorsi flexion to plantar flexion). This means it is active and not passive as the video suggests. Fifth, at the end of the video, it states "the foot is removed from the ground because the leg spring pulls it up." For a spring to unleash, it must first be compressed, i.e. a force mush push down on it to sore the energy that will cause it to go "BOING." That action of a spring in this context is not a pulling one. It is an instantaneous release of potential energy transitioning to kinetic energy. It is akin to an explosion. An explosion from the ground up (this implies a push, not a pull). Sixth, the video contradicts itself by stating "BOING. The spring decompresses and shoots up off the ground." toward the end, but at the beginning of the video, it stated "If Dibaba was pushing for propulsion, then her stride would be choppy, BOUNCY, ..." Something that perpetually "shoots up off the ground" implies "bouncy." By the video's own premise, we can conclude that Dibaba is pushing and not pulling because when something bounces off the ground, it is pushing off the ground (like a basketball),.....not pulling.

Very true, cant recommend this enough.
