Should you run on your tiptoes or on your heels?

Studies suggest that around 80% of athletes are rear-footed runners. Running on your tiptoes makes you faster and helps you cover more distance without getting tired easily. When you heel strike, your body has to work harder, putting you at a disadvantage. Running with the forefoot creates more power and activates more muscles.

Should you land on your heels while running?

To avoid lower body injuries, use a midfoot strike and avoid touching the ground with your heel. This allows your foot to land directly below your hip as you push your body forward. Kicking your heel can slow your stride and stress your knees.

Do you have to lean forward when running?

According to a University of Colorado study, the angle at which a person leans their torso forward while running affects injury risk. Feet hit the ground harder when people lean forward while running. Leaning forward puts pressure on your hips, knees, legs, and feet, which can lead to overuse issues.

If you’re starting from the forefoot, you’ll want your forefoot to strike first. If you’re running with half your foot, you’ll want your whole foot to land at about the same time. And if you heel strike, your heel should land first and then transition smoothly into a kick.
