Recently learned that you're supposed to land toe first. I've been doing heel down then toes for my entire life

Unbelievable that no PE teacher or little league coach ever bothered to tell me this. Explains a lifetime of hamstring cramps and shin splits

Now I'm amazed that I ever ran a 7 minute mile. I could've been an incredible long distance runner

Nah my wife showed me the toes thing in action. Thought she was weirdly fast before but now it makes sense

Cr. It's going to feel awkward at first, but it's really important to look like you're "prancing" when you run.

there's a lot of stuff like this in weightlifting and various athletics. technique not simple. then again, maybe this is why i became a Scholar instead of an NFL running back
