I used to run with a heel strike stride, as advocated by my high school gym teacher, but after I tore cartilage in my right kneecap running a marathon I learned to run with a forefoot stride as shown in this video, and I run much better now, less effort and less pain. The design of the shoe is important, many running shoes (eg Nike) are designed with a raised heel and lots (and lots!) of padding to try and cushion the shock of a heel strike, not many are designed to facilitate a midsole strike. I find the zero-drop heel of the Hoka One Profly to work really well for this, but there are other choices. Don’t order shoes blindly online, go to a local running shoe store with knowledgeable staff and find the shoe that works with your body and your goals.

Brad, since you are a runner with excellent run times, can you do a series for runners...biomechanics to optimize speed, techniques you use to train, specific strength training of muscles, injury prevention, etc. I think it would be huge since people ditched the gym and taken up running. Number of those participating in marathons has DOUBLED, according to Livestrong, in the last few years. I feel you have more qualifications than others on giving advice for all ages.

One of the reasons for 'heel strikes' are the modern shoes/sneakers that have been around since the 1960s where the fella that started Nike thought joggers/runners times would improve if they could heel strike first in their gait. That is why, especially sneakers since then, have a large amount of cushioning in the heel of sneakersOf course, the foot is designed to strike with te front of the foot first. There are shoes available now, Xeros is one brand (not tied to them, just a customer) that make 'barefoot shoes' that have a wide toe box, so the toes can spread out, as if walking barefoot, and a flat, minimal sole, just a few millimeters thick, no cushioning, no arch support, to get close to walking barefoot. I tried them, have been using for months on my treadmill, and they are much better than 'regular' sneakers. These type of shoes are all I wear now, lower back doesn't ache, nothing. The heel isn't made to take the shock of anything except standing really. so when we 'heel strike' that shock goes up the ankles, knees, hips, and back....Looks like Mike might have had on a pair of barefoot shoes, not Xeros or Lems, but some brand...

I still cannot figure out that if you are recommending landing with the forefoot 7:48 into the video, why is Mike demonstrating striking with the heel approximately 1:48 into the video? I tried forefoot walking on the bumpy streets of NY, not lifting the front of the foot and hurt myself tripping on the sidewalk. In a future video can you demonstrate how I can walk on rough surfaces without tripping using your walking technique.

Incredibly helpful for me! Thank you very much! I fractured my pelvis last year on the right and it put me out of commission with normal walking for the last year so I've had to learn to walk all over again. My PT advocated heel strike walking which I did not do previous to the injury. Trying to walk is a huge effort because I already have back problems and weight gain from the inactivity. Your exercises look good and doable and you explain everything so well!

You might want to find a different PT, they are wrong if they suggest that a heel strike is preferable to a soft knee, especially for someone in your situation.

Thank you for the information! Soft knee walking: hard to change but will try;) 61 now, and loved to racewalk 30 years ago. I had to quit after only 3 years of training and 3-4 5K's a month with an occasional 10K or 15K, because of knee pain. I have very loose joints and a somewhat high arch. Even now, when walking or standing without prescription orthotics, my arches flatten and knees angle in. Very difficult to find cute sandals with support ;(

Something you need to address is finding the proper sneaker. Everything has memory foam and that is terrible for my feet. I'm using Chuck Taylor's. Not the most comfortable sneaker but even the New Balance sneakers that my podiatrist recommended in 2006 have become memory foam. Memory foam is the worst thing for your feet.

I had a truly awesome chiropractor when I lived in the Pacific Northwest who solved a lot of my issues but then the last twenty-one years of life intervened and now that I've retired I can really focus on making my workouts and addressing my hip, back and toe issues my first priority....after spoiling my dogs as a stay-at-home dog mom first, of course! I'm so grateful and also want to send a prayer and good wishes for Bob. As I start Medicare next month, working my way through these videos is educating me to help me self-advocate as I age.

Now able to do more up & down hills too, with zero discomfort!!! Wish I'd known this at 50 not 66!!!My friends are all doing as well, same results! My Ortho tells all his patients to try it!

I just ran a 5K race using the “soft knee” technique that Bob & Brad suggest, it’s not only easier on the knees but less running effort. A running shoe with zero drop heel helps (I like the Hoka One Profly). Note that you are not walking “on the ball of your foot” but rather striking the ground with the ball first, then landing the heel to spring off the next step.

Is it applicable to people with flat foot only ?

@drip369 11 ай бұрын

No, it's applicable to everyone because the foot was designed to behave like a spring versus a stump. I walk full pad but i jog&sprint forefooted

7:44 - I have to admit I don't really like this technique of walking. Who walks this way naturally?... just landing on your toes when you walk? In my experience, a normal, natural way to walk is to land on your heel, but immediately roll your foot forward to your toe to absorb the shock, then push off forward with your toe to propel yourself forward. A nice, smooth, rolling motion that's easy on your hips and knees. I didn't have problems with walking until I noticed I was just walking on my heels but no longer involving my toes in walking at all. I see a lot of other older people like me doing this.

Completely understandable. Most people aren't used to walking like this, however it is beneficial to try.

Aren’t you more likely to stumble if you land on forefoot rather than heel?

Balance is very important so if you are feeling unsteady, please make sure practice safely and do not use this method until you can walk safely. Balance exercises are great for this purpose. We do have many of those as well :)

Really miss Bob! Someone with a similar personality and sense of humor would be welcomed.

I know that the Native Americans walked ball first. Not only is it easier on the body but the foot step is much quieter.

Always came natural to me to walk this way, so guess that little drop of Cherokee blood paid off.

I've been walking in the park with my hands on my butt for a while. I am more important than what people think about me.

Bob has ataxia and has stepped back from being in the videos and does more behind the scenes now. Here are the videos we did on his condition if you are interested: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/buB2eNOhrL-pe3U.html kzfaq.info/get/bejne/Y5h4qK2p0bPNfqs.html
