With all the Newton hooplah over the last few months I thought I divulge a cheap alterantive for the peeps who so want to run on their forefoot rather than being a heel striker. Are you ready for this...drum roll please...HEEL CUPS, yep that's right freakin heel cups. From the extensive studies that I have done on myself I have found that when I wear heel cups in my runners I naturally strike the ground with my forefoot.
Over the same 5k course I ran with the heel cups in 17:15, without the heel cups I ran 17:30...numerous times seeing as I misplaced my heel cups for the better part of a year, now that I have them back though I feel lighter on my feet and my heels feel much better. Welp that's all hope this helps.
