Ever wondered why some runners look smooth and effortless… while others look like they’re working twice as hard? 👣
A big part of that comes down to foot placement.
When you overstride (landing with your foot too far in front of your body), you’re effectively putting the brakes on with every step. That forward reach creates extra impact, slows your momentum, and makes running less efficient.
Watch the difference when runners land beneath their centre of mass. The contact is quicker, lighter, and sets up a clean, powerful push-off behind them, not a braking force in front.
It’s a small shift in awareness, but it can transform how efficient, how comfortable AND how fast you are! 🏃🏼
