I've been getting into a little running lately and would like to know the correct technique for running downhill. After being a heel-striker, I've just changed to a ball/heel/ball style. Whiile running downhill I need to slow myself down, so that means my foot has to land in front of my CG, which seems to be quite hard to do while maintaining a ball/heel/ball style.
Bear in mind that I'm quite slow, and not used to running at all (avg. run length 3.5km), so the "just turnover really fast" approach will probably just lead to me falling flat on my face.
Any suggestions?
