Words cannot express how painful it is to watch that heel strike. That's probably why some say running is "bad for your joints."
Running barefoot on a field that has not received rain/been watered in a while I found was harsher on my feet then on asphalt road. This was with shoes on. But, that same field after a good rain, (an inch or more) I could go all the way up to my max sprint speed and not feel any pain at all. This is a half acre field, 300 by 400 feet. I could keep doing sprints from one end to the other for an hour barefoot with no issues.
Isn’t it high impact cardio?
@@Lollololollllljj Yes it is. But again, on a field that has been rained on to me it feels like I am sprinting on air.
Running in any form is tough on your joints just depending on your form it tougher on your ankle, knees, or hips.
@@Lollololollllljj Yes, but the arch in your foot is an incredible shock absorber. You just have to land on it by not whacking your heel down first. You also want to train it by not wearing thick, gel cushioned running shoes. They promote injury rather than prevent it. I'm very tall and quite heavy but I wear zero drop, minimally padded shoes and have no issues. Although I only do maybe 20k per week right now.
I can tell that grass feels absolutely amazing, it's that type of grass where you just want to lie on it.
Bruh I know fr and I have done this before and it was amazing

Starts getting itchy tho
@@sauravsuman637 Only downside tho
Looks cold to me. Like a Scandinavian spring morning.
Part of how I learned to run properly was in cross country, my coach encouraged everyone to shed their shoes and socks and run on a football field, that way we'd feel how we ran, and it was eye opening.
It’s truly amazing!!
Yo same here in middle school!

Never seen someone properly demonstrate good running form. Thanks.
They walked like this in medieval times. Because the heel takes the weight but is easily punctured by thorns, and stones and easily twisted, the weight was placed onto the toes first and transferred as it was found to be safe in trails and combat.
He left out the part where you need to relax your arms and traps. That's energy wasted. If you watch long distance runners you'll notice their arms barely move. On the other hand, if you watch short distance sprinting they swing their arms, then it not such a big deal. Also basically learn to fall forward. Let forward momentum do the first part of the step

Always been a spring foot. The push back from the ground is beautiful and makes you feel like a speeding bullet
Running barefoot in the grass on a sunny day is one of the best feeling in can remember
Correction: barefoot running on beautiful well groomed soft grass that Probably doesn't have a single thorn lying around waiting for you to step on it.
That's just to let you get used to it, I've been running like that my whole life. Barefoot or shoes makes no difference, always been faster than 90% of my peers. I thought everyone ran like this but this could explain why I'm faster.
Wear vibrams. They're ugly but they'll give you that barefoot feel with protection
@@rafox66 Shoes make difference. Don't believe me? Run on gravel and sharp rocks, it will be very pleasant experience for you...
@@walkelftexasranger he was just saying that this is the better technique for running whether you're wearing shoes or not.
@@walkelftexasranger I was talking about the way of running, you can do this with shoes on too.
But if you walk around barefoot all the time you will be able to walk on gravel without pain it's only sharp things like thorns or glass that pose a threat. I don't even walk barefoot often but I have ran on gravel before, wasn't pleasant but it actually wasn't that bad. I was able to ignore the discomfort.
3 best mental cues for long distance: 1) knees up 2) elbows in and 3) relax. Any time you notice your mind has wandered bring it back by saying those 3 cues to yourself.
Expanding on #3: Relax- your Jaw, your shoulders, and your wrists
@@Itsasecret6789 Yeah I try to think of relaxing in the complete sense, both physically and mentally.
Knees up? What do you mean? And elbows in as opposed to where?
so your feet should never go noticeably further than your knee when you foot hits the ground, and bringing your knees up will get your stride longer. it’s also safer and just better general from to run with you knees ‘driving’ (as I like to think) the movement rather than trying to bring below the knee further than your knee. it also makes the force of hitting the ground not stop at your knee, prevents injury there. for the elbows, I believe they’re talking about how your arms swing. some people keep their arms still, but I like to swing mine. bad form is to have your hands swinging across your chest, moving your torse at all, moving your upper half around too much. people will put too much torso into their form, and it’ll push the air out of your lungs, making it harder to breathe. if you swing your hands front and back, not crossing the center of your chest, and basically just going almost totally straight front and back, swinging from the shoulders, your body will waste less energy and be more efficient. all running form makes running more efficient. so knees up is to get more efficient power in the legs and therefore speed, and elbows in makes sure your arms aren’t swinging and restricting your lungs, stifling your breathing. relaxing also preserves energy! hope it helped
Tf is knees up supposed to mean
I have been searching for an explainer like this, for years. Thank you!!!!
I remember in my early teens switching my form on sprints one day and I legitimately felt like 2-3x as fast

I spent six and a half years in the Army running incorrectly. Literally no one taught me to run properly. I would routinely get 14:30 on my two mile runs.
I had a professional trainers analyze my technique. She made me do exercises like you are doing and she made me change shoes. My run time dropped by almost a full minute and a half.
The Army is like the only organization that will actively sabotage you and then scream that you aren't doing better.

If u spent six and a half yrs in the army and didn’t know correct running technique by the first year in ur unit. I have a feeling you get micromanaged a lot. Not everything needs to be hand fed to u. Do your research and work on yourself it ain’t like they told u to run like that.

@@blazewagon5677 lol
Zero drop or barefoot shoes can help a ton with that. I’ve had minor knee discomfort and lower back pain since middle school. Guess my joints are weak oof.
Right after HS I started wearing zero drop shoes to continue training myself to walk & run ball first. About 3 months in, my knees and back felt almost completely fine; my calves and feet have never been better too.
Only problem is that normal shoes and striking heel first will cause me pain after some distance even if I just walk. I even got shin splints cause I hiked with normal boots. And I know it was the boots as well as form because I could hike over twice the distance with little issue in my zero drop shoes.
My recommendation: Feiyue’s shoes are cheap ($35 I think?) and offer more support than true barefoot shoes while still having zero drop, (no height difference from heel to toe) as well as remaining incredibly flexible. Some of them look nice too if you’re worried about that, makes for a great transitional shoe.
But I cannot stress this enough, if you’re serious about swapping, take it gradually, could get injured if you’re not careful. But hey even people 70 years+ have made the change so so can you!
PS: Sorry for the wall of text, this is honestly one of the best things I’ve ever done with my body. Not even joking when I say a pair of shoes changed my life.
Do 10min walking backwards with control and put the toes down before the heels. (Knees over toes position). Also try going up hill. Good for your knees and ankles
@@beeankha when walking in a straight surface (not running) is it OK to walk heel to toe

Went from a heel strike to midfoot years back and almost immediately all my pain that I usually get when running were gone.
Facts.

@Dyslexic Mitochondria I watched the video at 2am 😭
I unironically experienced an evolution in my running form when I was in high school. I practiced backwards running because I thought it would be fun and to make up for having flat feet. I couldn’t keep up with other kids, whether it be because running would hurt more because of flat feet, or general lack of fitness. Then the fitnessgram pacer test was introduced and lit a competitive spirit in me. While I couldn’t match others in speed, i made up with sheer determination and reached 100 laps in which they stopped the test. For the final test of a mile-run, idk, but I changed my running form after getting tired into using the front of the foot like in this video and felt a huge difference. Even got asked about joining track.
TLDR; running is pretty fulfilling
Running on your forefoot/mid foot is intended for short, powerful bursts of energy and agility. It’s not intended for long distance or endurance running. Running from heel-to-toe absorbs so much more shock and energy. You still have to be aware of your heel-to-toe gait and make sure you’re not hammering all your pressure on the heel, but if you’re trotting along for long distance or going for a jog you want to heel-to-toe.
And don't forget: sprint with your arms at a 90 degree angle, with your hands straight ahead and open, lean your body forward
This comment is underrated.

@@kevinsanderson4165 Running is a high-injury sport, period. No one method is right for everyone. Everyone's body type and goals are different and that impacts their best options for form. It's ridiculous to condemn one set of recommendations without recognizing that the same condemnation can be applied to any running form advice. And it's useless, unhelpful, and obnoxious to just comment snippy nuanceless complaints like yours without bothering to add any actual elaboration or alternatives.

Look at your own motivations and maybe make comments that have some use in the future
I just run the way I feel like it, and it works perfect. Your body naturally knows to an extent how things require to be performed
@@ItsAsparageese Running is not a high injury sport 💀 I was in track & field and of all my entire team there was maybe 1 or two injuries in a season. Running is one of the safest physical human activities out there.
@@JoshTalks11 I did medical massage for several years, worked in healthcare already for several years before that, and have gone on to study pathophysiology and epidemiology more deeply in preparation for other medical tracks. With all due respect, the consensus of medical professionals and educators beats the heck out of the amount of anecdotal data you just based your argument on.
Sure, running doesn't have a high rate of MAJOR injuries, especially not when compared to plenty of other activities I love. But it does have a very high rate of injuries in general, particularly of the repetitive motion variety and others related to chronic overuse. By all means, it's quite a safe sport, but also by nature the fact that it's very popular and accessible means many people are doing it without the benefit of coaching, and also many people are engaging in it for more hours and over more of their lives than happens with many other sports. It lends itself to high rates of many types of problems. Your definition of/connotations for "injury" are probably more specific and serious than what I'm referring to when I use that term.
The legit way of training to run correctly. Most of the people dont even have the correct knowledge and try to teach their own believes. Ive been training in track and field for 7 years and it infuriates me to see people have pain while running and ignore those strict, but very helpful exercises.

Biggest thing that changed the way I run was taking time to understand that legs are just springs attached to levers. The more levers and springs you can utilize, the less each individual component is stressed.
Which is why I switched to running primarily on the balls of my feet and keeping my heels in the air as much as possible. It's difficult for the first few months, but after awhile, your calves, hamstrings and glutes will adjust and it'll become second nature.
Also, be prepared for tennis ball sized calves.

@@boethia7367 big

Would being shorter require you to run differently?
You have no idea how much I needed this. I was a stomper as a kid when running, lot of wasted energy. Now over 10 years since my last gym class and that time mostly spent at a computer desk, I'm overweight with no muscle mass or elasticity. I started to walk/jog in intervals but my technique was all over the place, I literally forgot how to run, and I don't have the fitness to do even stomping style I had when I was a kid as it ruins my back and knees.

Back in the mid 2000s, as a teen, I learned how to run entirely on the balls of my feet. My heels would never touch the ground during a 10K run. Nobody taught me not to heel strike. I don’t understand how this’s not intuitive since it’s so effective to run that way. Heel striking is very inefficient because you can’t rebound off the heel.
i learned to walk with the front of the feet and i bumped into stuff for like a week. it still feels so weird i can't imagine running.
I started wearing barefoot shoes and walking with a forefoot striking pattern for the past 5 months or so. Just the other day I walked 2 miles and for the first time in years I full sprinted probably over 40 yards. Painless. It felt like I was floating, and I was FAST.

Running barefoot is such a good feeling. My unscientific/unpopular opinion is that running form will become more efficient over time, solely from running plenty of miles and mixing in some speed work(hill sprints are the best).
Your foot/form will adapt to not getting injured, it won’t make you more mechanically efficient.
@@TwistedSoul2002 nobody said anything about "mechanically efficient" they just meant that over time technique and form becomes better.
@@zack-lk8if Define ‘better’… 🙄
@@TwistedSoul2002 better
@@TwistedSoul2002 to be more specific, running barefoot almost forces you to have good form. Running with heel strike when barefoot is PAINFUL and you'll automatically stop. Plus there actually IS mechanical advantage to running barefoot, there have been multiple studies done on it
Sound Man from JJBA SBR taught me this
I haven't noticed anyone running with their back of their foot before. Knowing that some people do this surprised me and now I wanna try it.
I've always walked, not runned just walked, on the front of my feet. It's how I learned to do it because stepping heel first would hurt my head. It's a common thing in autistic children. They had to try and teach me how to walk "the right way" but I never really learned it well and still prefer walking and running this way. Running this way is way faster and because I've done this my whole life I have amazing balance too.
Never have I ever heard someone say "That boy's got some strong ankles" 😂
deep strokes start from the feet
Then go find someone who has trained their ankles, you might hear yourself say it

Every time I tell people that they'll run better if they use the balls of their feet to open up their stride they look at me like I'm literally out of an asylum.
Fr, I told this to someone while doing track. They kept arguing that I was wrong 💀.
@@mawacachet Isn't that crazy? I mean you can literally, EASILY tell the difference once you start doing it. Nobody starts a sprint on their heels, do they?? Like come on 🤣 I told someone this when we were doing hills. Like look, see how you lead with your toes going up? If you do that going DOWN just watch how you absolutely blast down the hill.
My brothers were in track in 6-8th grade and I became aware by looking at their track shoes that they run on the balls of the feet and watching races on television...don't know how people run any other way...when I was 19 yrs old, eons ago and took dance classes it was sort of the same thing, dancing ballet (not on point) and modern dance we were always on the balls of our feet ready to move to go across the floor learning dance squences...
You guys have balls in your feet? 😳
I'm confused so are you saying to run on your heels or like this guy is saying???
I’ve always been taught to walk heel to toe. I thought that applied to running too. Thank you
Every middles schooler should learn this and every sport should enforce this at every practice.
Something that always help me was thinking about leaning forward while running. When I first started running competitively in 7th grade I would lean forward just to make sure I was landing closer to my toes, as I got better I started standing up straighter and taking longer strides. This also helped me out of the blocks.
"leaning forward while running"
Easy there Naruto.
I feel like leaning forward does help, but me.. I like to keep proper form just to feel accomplished.
@@amethystaries8140 leaning forward helps initially but a straight back and tight midsection will lead to longer distances.
@@cruisingscenesandtakingbea4197 today, I was able to complete a mile in 8:30 minutes 😌
@@amethystaries8140 right on, congrats. Keep at it!
When I’m running for my life, I’ve noticed my toes have most of the contact with the ground, but when I’m running for fun, it’s not the same.
How often you find yourself running for your life lmao
@@EviIM0nk3y it’s happened a few times. I know you’re trying to make fun of me, but I won’t bite that. I just hope you don’t end up in similar circumstances.

I always imagine I am a dinosaur raptor running when I am running lol
After numerous falls in the last year, I really needed this video to help me strengthen my ankles after being so deconditioned. You saved me about 6 months of pt appts to learn those exercises. Lol
That is quite literally one of the best running forms out there. Well done mate. Hope the message spreads and we get more of these Muppets out of cushioned shoes.
Much appreciated!!
Ex military here, with knee and hip problems. Heard that zero drop and "barefoot" shoes could help. 2 years in and things feel much better, not perfect, but better.
Made the mistake of going for a short 1/2 mile run in my Merrell trail gloves a week after getting them. 5 days of absolute calf-destroying soreness ensued.
Point is, I don't care how fit you are, start with the 100 meters. Lol
looks like he's just running to me
Yes because you can't run right with cushioned shoes, douchebag.
Although I appreciate the message of the video, he failed to give credit to the guy actually speaking in the video… the barefoot sprinter aka graham turtle
My track coach in high school was a former Olympian and coached team USA in the 96 and 2000 Olympics. This man has drilled in my head and many of teammates minds proper form. Toe up. Knee up. Pull the elbows back.
our coach was Billy Mills

"don't run heel first"
*Proceeds to run heel first in the "correct" way*
this means i’ve actually been running the right way my whole life
No wonder it felt much more comfortable, and I wouldn’t get tired as fast since my weight was being properly supported, unlike those hard heavy heel drops that even disturbs your breathing. It can be quieter too
Toe running is only during sprints, with long distance its very inefficient
I don't know why but i've always gone toe first like this ever since i was a young kid. Not only does it give you better support and more speed when running, but if you walk like this too you can make your footsteps so light that they're practically silent... Best way to work the calf muscles too lol
Knowing Better has a very interesting video on the history of running as a sport and running shoes in particular. The background behind shoe companies aggressively marketing shoes with heavily padded heels as the "proper" running shoes is interesting.
Backward running is an elite calf training method
Also great for knee pain
Muay thai is an elite calf training method, made my calves monsters
@@ayyubjackson1769causes knee pain or reduces it?
@@user-os2io9yj4f can help to drastically reduce it
@Master Monkey are you being serious? My calves are thicker than most peoples biceps because of muay thai 😂
I did this naturally and never knew why others struggled so much with running. This answered soo many questions.
I agree … I hardly even walk “heel to toe” unless I’m in a fairly lazy mood but even then I just kinda drag my heel a tiny bit that’s why the heels of my heavy ass boots always wear out first lol , but it always just felt more natural to me to not slam my heel into the ground and roll to my toes while running … I just always felt like I got more explosiveness when running on the balls of my feet, like
The song is such a perfect fit for the video 😂
Haha thanks!!
@@SimonShi Of course!
gotta give props to someone who uses it properly lol the original video of the song is about dancing and cardio, her using her toes jumping
just like ur video, its perfect 🤣
today i learned that while i'm not doing it perfectly, i _am_ running with the right part of my foot
This what I really need to see as someone revovering from acute angle recovery and some knee recovery, especially building up the strength and doing it on grass! That backwards run and walk is life changing!
This is literally Sandman's running technique from Jojo part 7
YESS
My cross country coach told me the best distance running should make as little sound as possible to reduce impacts
needed this. Went for a 3 mile run the other day and my knees still hurt.
I learned this by accident simply by turning the tread mill to max (15mph)to see how long i could endure. Once i was reaching my limits and about to give up, i pushed through the pain and my form naturally changed from heel landing to "running on my toes", like instict kicked in once my brains only thought was "just keep running". I always ran and jogged on my heels until that happened, changed my life lol. Actually vastly improved my running endurance. I didnt relize what an important spring your foot is
This doesn’t make much sense. All
Elite runners are midfoot to heel strikers.
Forefoot running is not sustainable over long distance it’s a very taxing running form for your muscle groups.
@@piwo647 that was just my experience, im 6'6, and treadmill is different than real running, not sure if any of that makes a difference Taxing honestly just sounds like im getting a better work out
Well, unless you have a flat foot..in which case that ''spring'' becomes an ankle breaking slam to the ground with every step you make :p
@Wood and Resin Designs. com i was running on my toes, my fat ass just wasnt going fast lol, i run barefoot on the tread, the roughest patch on my foot is the ball and toes. Also people land on the ball of their foot and "run on their toes" when jogging so im wondering what speed has anything to do with this. Telling me im slow is debatable because fast is subjective if not relative, totally fine with that. But dont debate me on objective facts, especially when you have no evidence to support your claim. That's just stupid.
I'm gonna start using this as a reference for animating running cycles from now on :')
Brooo the you have so much area with this good grass
Also the weather is good too such an amazing place to workout
Yes, thanks!
