Understanding Midfoot Striking
Elisabeth and Dr. Matt discuss the concept of midfoot striking in running and emphasize the importance of weight distribution throughout the gait cycle. They debunk the misconception that midfoot striking means striking and stopping, highlighting that the body is still in constant motion as it moves over the foot. By keeping the center of mass forward, runners can achieve proper weight distribution and ensure their pressure is more towards the ball of the foot.In this clip
