Correct Running Technique with a Forefoot Strike

Do you run? Landing on your heel? It's time to try and adopt forefoot running! This technique, also known as minimalist or natural running, involves more than just landing on the front part of your foot. The localization of the point of support, the rolling back of the foot, the quality of cushioning, step frequency — these are all elements that need to be understood, mastered, and about which the following questions inevitably arise:

• What are the benefits of forefoot running?
• How to prepare and get used to this running style?
• What movements are necessary for this?
• What training program to follow?
• At what speed to run?
• In what shoes?

This guide answers all your questions and provides ways to test, absorb, and perfect the correct running technique for greater efficiency and comfort on the treadmill. The updated edition significantly expands the range of issues and concepts addressed.
