Running Tips | Form Training Technique: Striking Step

[@LadiiFitness]

I love the way you break it down. I have been in fitness for years. I have lived to learn about our bodies and how they work since childhood. The techniques make sense intuitively and practically. Wow thanks for diving into your mind and sharing the details of your findings.

[@ThomasToPC]

Thanks for sharing this! I use a similar training method when teaching in my school of Taichi, to help with developing the body frame that can efficient transmit force, before we can move on to using intra-abdominal pressure for more power. We also have a particular fist-clenching method that sounds like there’s a parallel with yours - contracted core, relaxed peripheral - yes?

Are your feet flat when you strike the ground? Do your heels touch the ground?

[@anubizz69]

No, your heels should not touch the ground when you run. Running with your heels hitting the ground first is commonly known as heel striking, and it is generally considered an inefficient running technique that can lead to various issues over time.
