Do you run slower if you run flat-footed? (benefits of running on your toes)?

Question

thanks for your help

Answer 1

yes, i think you do run slower becoayse running flat-footed takes more effort to lift your feet. I used to run flat-footed, but now I run heel to toe, and I have seen major improvments. Its not as tiring.

i don't know any benefits of running on toes, i just know that in track you run on your toes, but in XC or long distance, you run heel to toe.

hope this helps!

Answer 2

you know running flat foot and running on your toes are no different you run how you feel you think is conforable and that is it.
