[@NickSteffen]

@@manny3630 if you follow the advice in the video, your not really landing, you’re gliding while trying to stay level, so it doesn’t matter if you heel strike. It’s also just more energy efficient. If your calves are absorbing force from a strike, that is energy lost. It is also a ton of strain on your calves, it’s fine for medium distances but for a marathon your calves really aren’t built for that much strain. It’s a recipe for ankle problems and calf strains. Your calves are really meant for going fast not being efficient.

[@pvtghost117]

​@@arkamukhopadhyay9111 it depends on what you're training for, heel strike is fine for slower long distance running but for sprinting you should be doing forefoot. I like to sprint in my runs so I alternate between midfoot and forefoot. Plus forefoot striking gives you really nice calves too lol.

[@kophotography895]

Two words to avoid injuries Patience & Cadence. It takes time for your body to get used to distance or load increases, 3-5 weeks @ 10% increase week on week with a break week every 3. If you are getting shin splints, ankle sore, planta issues look at your cadence, I try to keep mine at 180 on all Sessions & Long Runs recovery to easy 176 at the lowest, short steps are less load on joints, again adjust slowly.

[@antimatter2417]

The cadence tip was the most useful for me, I was naturally running at 149-152 steps per minute but then I stared running with 165bpm music, it felt super fast and super awkward but it fixed my overstride and feels much less harsh on my joints. I plan on raising it up to 175-180

That's a very cool testing facilities and crew. Thanks for sharing your preparation.

[@Magnulus76]

Heeling strike is largely due to people being used to thick, heeled shoes with heavy soles. Getting used to zero drop shoes can help with that. With a pair of zero drop shoes with thin soles, you simply can't land on your heel without experiencing immediate feedback, so your running efficiency will quickly improve once you get more of a midfoot or forefoot landing. Also, lower body mobility issues can be due to the kinds of chairs we use and how we tend to sit habitually with our knees perpendicular to our body. It shortens and weakens muscles like the glutes, quads, and pelvic flexors, leading to poor lower body strength where it counts. This can result in anterior pelvic tilt evidenced in your running form in the treadmill test.

[@WhiteHorseStudioArt]

I used to heelstrike, and developed a persistent knee and heel pain. Until I started using Xero HFS shoes. Minimalist running shoes. All the pain dissappeared and healed completely. A lot of these awkward postures are caused by the modern shoe itself. Its heel is padded to be higher, changing the natural posture of your leg anatomy. It atrophies the foot and leads to injuries for runners. I would suggest trying a running shoe that is minimalist.

Gotta be careful with changing your form if you have been running a certain way for a long time. I tried changing mine to what I was told was proper running form and I got my first running injury. I’m 48 and will likely just use my what people call horrible form for the rest of my running life.

[@rib9985]

Hi Shervin, just keep in mind that number 1 cause for injury in running is unnecessary impact. There are several studies that also show there isn't a correlation between heel striking and injury. Sure, form helps, but if you switch to the mindset of reducing the impact with each stride, minimizing the contact of the feet to ground, without slamming them down, you'll have a sure proof way of keeping yourself in check.

[@cannibalmanimal2336]

Heel striking requires more ground contact

[@scotchbarrel4429]

Over time there are diminishing returns on mitigating damage to ligaments, joints and connective tissue, hopefully people reach their goals prior to hitting that red line. I like running for zone 2 training, but not for any set goal like a marathon, more just to tick the zone cardio training of 250 minutes per week. ATM I'm enjoying doing this on a bike in winter, and finishing a 45 min/20km ride, then doing a three or four 200m sprint for VO2 training. I save alot of time doing both one after the other, rather then separating zone 2 and VO2 training to separate days.

[@dbo4506]

@@cannibalmanimal2336wrong. Over striding increase GCT. You can heel strike under your centre of mass and have no issues whatsoever. Many elite runners heel strike and a lot of the best ultra marathon runners on the planet heel strike. But they do not over stride. You’re conflating over striding with heel striking because they often come together as a pair. But they are not the same thing. The heel strike is absolutely fine. Proven beyond doubt. Over striding is the cause of the problem.

[@GodzillaGoesGaga]

A lot of it comes from posture. If you aren’t upright you end up slouching and gives lazy foot dragging from my experience.

[@arkamukhopadhyay9111]

Repeat after me: there is nothing wrong with heel striking, as long as you do it under your centre of gravity.

Great video man. If you address cadence glute activation will take care of itself. Instead of thinking about 4 cues while running try increasing your tempo by 5-10 steps per minute and you'll land under your body without having to think about it.

Hi Shervin, How accurate are the HR zones that your Garmin calculates compared to the metabolic test?

[@joevdb9232]

not very accurate. heart rate is very variable, so to judge what training zone you're in you must consider your pace and perceived effort as well as heart rate. garmin also attempts to calibrate your heart rate zones automatically, which adds extra uncertainty. the way you really should calibrate a heart rate zone is to do a bunch of sessions in that zone (based on pace and perceived effort) and measure the resulting heart rate.

But not having my wheels completely changed my mindset on my physical fitness. I still hit the weights 5 days a week but only train one muscle group per day. So chest Mon legs Tuesday etc.. I only run on Monday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So the legs are doing strength training on Tuesday and recovery on Wednesday. I am just now trying to learn the best way to take running to a more serious level. I only run about 1 mile to 2.5 and, on some days, do 400-meter sprints and 100-meter sprints.

Great tip! If you get your cadence up around 180 it’s very hard to over stride 🫡

Interesting that cadence wasn’t mentioned once in this video. Was it discussed in your assessments?? I assume that they’ve also advised you to increase your cadence as the quickest way to shorten your stride and keep from overreaching?

[@jasonhuang6332]

Generally if you think to fix one it will improve the other. If you think to quicken cadence it will shorten strid. If you shorten the stride it generally quickens cadence. Personally I think whatever works best for your thinking is best. I turned myself from a heel-striker to a mid-striker by thinking of the "swinging" and trying to strike the ground as I'm swinging back to maximize drive. In turn it shortened my drive and upped my cadence.

[@faizankazi99]

Hyped for this prep! How much did all of this cost?

[@kalvin.]

Probably a decent amount. If you want a slightly more affordable method, many universities have sports medicine or athletic training related degrees, and some offer metabolic or VO2 max testing for a discount so the students can practice. I have one school near me and it’s about $100 for an exam (not cheap, but not crazy if it’s a once a year or every couple years just to track progress). And you can compare the zones to your HR or your watch and that way you can sort of calibrate it

To be honest, the issue with heel striking is the shoes. Shoes have a thick pad which makes it easy to heel strike thus teaching and conditioning you to heel strike. I say this because I used to do the same until I stopped running in shoes altogether. I now only ever run in cheap Superman sandals and it is amazing what it does for your form. It's really about running barefoot or minimalist running. I stumbled onto "Born to Run" on youtube and I've never looked back. Look into it to easily correct your form.

Resisting overstride hack: I heard in podcast with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella about keeping elbows back and hands almost at your armpits/nipples (for guys, anyway) as a means of helping keep your feet under your pelvis. I tried it immediately and saw such a weird relationship between hands/arms and feet. In an upright stance (not leaning forward for back), it's almost hard to bring your feet out too much further than your hands. It's some kind of balance maintenance thing that I can't explain. But when I feel like I may be overstriding, I usually just make sure my elbows are back, hands like I'm plucking invisible suspenders, and I notice my landing gets pushed back under my pelvis. Suuuuch a weird thing.

8:32 Doesn't matter forefoot, heels strike, midfoot... you need to land under your body. Your hands are to far forward, so you move your feet to much forward to. Your elbows need sharper angle. 90 degree is to much try 50. Hands closer to the body. Swing elbows. You can see the right arm swing at 8:37 pulls the left leg more forward. Try leaning forward less. Leaning is only balance, the energy comes from hip, ancles and knee.

[@miguelalonsoperez5609]

I’m physiotherapist and runner, since more than 20 years: technique is something you don’t “fix”, is more like you evolve with time… one never ends in the way to perfection. But some errors are heavier than others, and more injury related. Probably anterior pelvic tilt is the most frequently mentioned mistake in beginners: it limits the ability to use your gluteus maximus and your core to propel yourself, and you overuse quadriceps. Also it limits the hip flexors and as you show in your picture, force you to attack the floor with a straighter knee position, and this don’t allow the knee to absorb smoothly the reaction forces from the ground. In my personal research, alternating walking and running from time to time, is one of the best exercises to keep neutral pelvic position and use torso rotation to add some little but powerful extra push: walking is often underestimated by many runners. 5 minutes walking before gently warming up at low pace also add a good start when you begin to run after a long period sitting or lying on the bed.

there is an easy way to fix your heel problem, that is to go down to training with non-supportive shoes like vivobarefoot, xero shoes or sandal (xero, luna, earthrunner), the best way is to run barefoot. Surely you will hurt your feet not from blisters but from heels, but because of that, the body is forced to change the position, land the legs shorter than the back straighter, then or return to the speed exercises with shoes and watch. result. you know our body is very smart it learns from pain to adapt to the best state and because we are born to run!

My running coach even made me correct the way I walked my feet used to swing outwards he made me walk on a line on the track and keep them straight and now a lot of pain in my heels and ankle left and now I walk like a normal person and also run properly

great info, ran a marathon last year- we are similar in our struggles- all about heart rate.

Do more A-Skips and B-Skips. How I fixed the same issue.

There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with heel striking. This is proven beyond doubt at this point. It’s over striding that often comes with heel striking that’s the issue. A lot of elite distance runners and almost the majority of ultra runners heel strike. But they do not over stride.

I use to be a collegial sprinter but when ever it came to a mile run I struggled to beat 7 min...never knew how much sprinting form is just like running.

Ok, you are my new favorite KZbinr. Subscribed!

It's not just your heel striking, it's your shoes. Go to minimalist shoes and your form will self correct.

I highly recommend checking out some of Lawrence Van Lingen’s work (his “10 run cue” course was very helpful to me).

5:45 in the video your running form improved so much.

[@misterpgallagher]

Really thanks for releasing these videos. I try to tell people their running form is poor (not to put them down) but because running inherently isn't bad, it just seems like 99.99% of people have bad form. I've said this a million times and I will say it again, it's not the movement is bad, it's their form.

Oh hey! I've been using a cyclist's "posture" to kind of replicate that leaning forward & horse pawing to get into my mid foot running gait. Glad i'm on the right track

how much does a facility like this charge for this service (for a regular person)?
