How do i stop heel striking!!!!!?

Question

pls dont tell me that im heel striking just because thats the way i run...i want to fix this because its really slowing me down. (even when i sprint i heel strike)

Answer 1

There are several classic form thoughts to deal with this problem:

Foster the sense that you're leaning forward from the ankles.

Focus on lengthening your back kick.

Keep your (non-stance) foot close to your butt as you bring it forward.

At the furthest forward point of your leg swing, be sure to pull your toe up toward your kneecap by contracting the muscles on the outside of your shin.

Try to "scrape back" powerfully upon footstrike. Imagine you're a tiger hurtling forward by grabbing the earth and thrusting it backwards.

Let me know if any of this is unclear, and good luck!

Answer 2

its probly a habit by now, so unless ur really diligent in running on ur toes its gonna be hard to change

try leaning forward more so ur forced to run on ur toes

think of it as pushing, not pulling ur body forward

just try to be more conscious of when u run on ur heels

srry i cant help much
