Jogging is not an intentional heel strike movement. Jogging is simply running at a leisurely pace. It IS about pace. You can sprint with a heel strike. You can jog with a forefoot strike. The movements are not defined by which part of the foot makes contact with the ground.
@@KristianRobertsen it's possible, especially in thick-heeled shoes. Point being, the video conflates heel striking with jogging. They are two separate things.
i think what he’s saying is that the book popularized heel striking Hell, if it’s the book i think it is, it explicitly tells you to train yourself out of forefoot striking Which it calls the natural way of running
I was told by an avid runner that his dad started running when he was a kid (he's 65ish) and he mentioned that people simply didn't just go out and run for fun. It was new then and the shoes and science behind it were not there at the time. That's probably what he meant.
@@Drew_Peacock the act of jogging has existed for literal hundreds of thousands of years. I do agree that the act of jogging for shits and giggles has only been around in America for that long
This is a completely made up definition and is unsupported by any running research. Something like 60% of sub 2:10 marathoners heel strike for some portion of their race. Are you going to say that those people are “jogging”?

@@ssrunnerif you believe jogging is only when someone heel strikes, you’re right. But if the definition of jogging has nothing to do with which part of the foot strikes the ground first, you’re wrong. This is a dumbass semantics argument that accomplishes nothing so argue away if you want but it all comes back to the original definition of jogging, which upon the time I’m writing this is to “run slowly”. It says nothing about the part of the foot that connects with the ground during a stride, so I’m assuming it doesn’t matter and that jogging is just a slower paced run
You're running fine! This short is completely misinformed. Your natural foot strike is almost certainly the best for you - the body chooses what works for it.
@@vacafuegano. it depends on what type of shoes you usually wear. running with heel strike is not a natural movement, it's a result of wearing shoes with huge heel cushions. running like that barefoot would be uncomfortable or painful
This is incorrect. You can run while healstriking or jog while tipping toes. The difference between jogging and running is that jogging is slow and running is fast. Check out Fredrik zillen if you went to learn more about running
People can strike at any part of their foot, running or jogging. There’s more heel strikers in jogging because it’s a slower overall pace, but there’s still plenty of heel strikers in running
Great explanation. I’ve been struggling with this as I run Ultras but do so in barefoot shoes, and getting the foot strike right is really tough at lower speeds, and really weird at anything close to a walk!
Does the chi running posture help you get the right foot strike more easily? Some people have tried it for regular barefoot running and they say it sort of makes gravity improve your whole body positioning, I don't know if it helps ultra running or your running style though.
I spent years walking with a no-scraping walk in cotton-soled tai chi shoes. That means a midfoot strike. You can do it. My motivation was to walk "in principle" and the wear-out of the soles was my examination.
Dude, you gain absolutely nothing from running ultras in barefoot shoes. It doesn't make you any stronger than wearing normal shoes but can result in all kinds of injuries. You get stronger during regular training. That's where barefoot shoes make sense. Geez, where has all the common sense gone these days?
@@TheSandkastenverbot Thanks for the reply, no need for the bit at the end though regarding common sense. Especially when there are lots of people running long distances in barefoot shoes?! I physically cannot wear “normal” shoes now, they just don’t fit. It’s not a one size fits all, and I’ve never picked up an injury running or walking in barefoot shoes, just want to keep improving to make it easier. I did 100km about 3 months ago and was walking around with relative ease the next day.
Jog until your heart rate comes down naturally for same effort , and through consistency you will be able to use more effort and will be able to recover
I have naturally began to shift from heel walking to toe walking and employing it for running or pretty much any movement. Feels more natural and reliable and reactive than heel first, plus helps to keep from walking on something like a nail or glass especially outdoors. The leg strength you build is unreal just naturally.
I'm not so sure about the first half of the definition, but I definitely empathize with the closing argument of about using your lower leg muscles to stabilize yourself while sprinting. Every time that I've tweaked something, it's because I've pushed too hard. Two suddenly without warming up after a period of inactivity. It's well worth it to strengthen those secondary muscles to lay a firm foundation for being able to be a good sprinter or runner
I have more of the running style. I find it hard to find new shoes that allow for the foot to bend. My old running shoes does that, but almost all new shoes have a thick stiff sole with various amount of dampening.
Barefoot shoes are your answer: flexible soles, room for toes, no toe spring, no heel rise.. There are about 15 brands. Search for the concept and find youtube video reviews. Xero is the most thrifty brand.
@@thebarefootsprinterI'm a huge fan of Altra as of late. Wide toebox, arch strengthening mid, locked down heel, and enough cushion that I don't have to worry about puncture injuries.
Running with proper technique can help prevent headaches while jogging or running. Flexibility in the feet and ankles is crucial for improving running form.
Nothing of this is true unfortunately. Most elite marathon runners (65-85%) heel strike. Some people combo strike. Stop picking on heel strikers your facts are wrong and not supported by the evidence 🤦🏻♂️
@@s98715 We are not elite runners. So how is what they do relevant to us? Their tactics, training, and methodology are completely alien to the average person or even the average runner. For example most of them run 80+ miles a week. Should we be doing that to stay injury free too?
Jogging is a great way to kill your knees. When you land heel first, the force gets transferred up into your knee instead of distributed through your arch and Achilles if you landed on the forefoot. It's totally unnatural, as it's incredibly painful for most people to do without modern footwear. If you're running slow, shorten your forefoot stride, don't heel strike.
I try jog more than simply running for improve proper running from which i miised previous years from running and posture feom race wasn't there I do appreciate it explains so much and how I shouod stride everytime I get more used to jogging
As an ultra marathon running, I can say that the longer I can run throughout a race (rather than falling back to jogging), the better I will do! Slow running is the way to go 😂
I grew up not a runner all because I wasn’t running right. I didn’t learn to run till I went to MCRD San Diego for Marine Corps basic training. It does make a difference.
I think you can sprint faster by getting more lift and hang time per stride and using your front pad on your foot and pushing off with your toes. It makes sense because if you are at speed you don't need so much torque from your quads over a shorter distance (as in sprinting flat footed) instead you can use a king lever arm (your whole leg and your extended foot) to put down power faster but with less torque. Maybe it will work maybe it won't but it's easy to test
When I was little, I got made fun of because I “ran funny.” Which is to say, I ran using the tips/ball of my feet. I happened multiple times as I grew up, people would say I ran wrong because I wasn’t landing on my heel… 🙄 I’m amazing and everyone around has been terrible. Very glad people today know that you’re supposed to run using the curves of your legs to your advantage.
I'm going with Dr Jack Daniel and his book " Running Formula" who studied elite runners and on average they had 180 steps per minute. He has spent his life researching runners and what makes them fast and efficient. The best running book for training runners.
There are very good examples (Aleksandr Sorokin, Anton Krupicka, Courtney Dauwalter, Kilian Jornet Burgada, etc) of ultra runners that adopt a smooth and springy forefoot/midfoot strike
No one should run or jog on their heels, it will eventually ruin your knees as I have learned the hard way. If you can't jog on your toes it means you're slow enough that walking at a brisk pace is just as fast.
Having flat feet CANT be the difference between running and jogging, as soon as I speed up more than a speed walk I tend to go to my toes to run and I know a lot more people like that too, it's gotta be the extention of your leg, running and sprinting is full/fuller extention while with jogging you're mostly just putting your foot under you as you need
According to studies done by byu university, when running (not sprinting) the most efficient foot strike is the one that comes naturally for both amateurs and professionals and anyone in between. If your foot strike is bad or extreme, try doing some strength training (usually below the knee- so calves tib and ankles) and stretch. Also ease into mileage (slowly build every week).
There are countless examples of people who tried ran like it "came naturally" to them and were frequently injured. After trying a new footstrike pattern their problems were gone. "What comes naturally" can serve as a guide but can also misguide you. Sometimes you need to change things drastically.
In middle school they told us the difference was while running, you will have both feet off the ground at times, and while jogging, you will always have at least one foot on the ground. Now I’m questioning everything.
It’s complete bs and it is about pace. Don’t believe everything on the internet. These people tell you that running on the heel is bad but the majority of marathon running’s use heel strike. Both heel strike and front foot have their own advantages and disadvantage. Heel strike is al harder on the knees front foot is harder on the shins. (Shin split risks etc)
This video tries to sell "opinion" as "definition". Of course, People who are serious should try to learn how to run in good form....but Zatopek did not jog..
Something your missing with your stride is that your toes are always pointing towards the ground while driving. Almost every running coach teaches you to have a 90 degree or more angle in your ankles while driving your leg forward and then slamming the forefoot in the ground just in front of the hip, either landing on a flat foot with the weight on the forefoot, or landing only on the forefoot if youre in a sprint. Running with the toes pointing downwards, and landing on them without flexing and slamming is actually working against you in terms of running economics
@Cocemanful I've tried running like this, and it makes my ankles hurt a lot. I've recorded myself running to adjust but it has not worked for me. Any tips?
Every definition of jogging is just "running at a leisurely or gentle pace." Heel striking and rolling over the foot just is a little more efficient. However, lots of joggers will mid strike or toe strike while jogging. Jogging is all about pacing as it's typically longer distance running. It's all running.
Tip for anyone here from a former competitive runner: knowing the definition of these things doesn’t matter at all, and you should just focus on doing what you like instead of these semantics.
The difference between jogging and running is that in a jog there is always a foot on the ground, in running there is a time between steps where no foot is on the ground.
It's so strange. When I jog or run (heel first) I always, without fail, get a headache. When I run with a good technique it stops hurting and I can keep up much longer
It's easier for me too. When I am jogging I got pains in my legs after a while, and my legs feel heavy, when I run fast ( sprint) combined with walking fast, I feel amazing. Jogging is artificial, I guess this is the reason. Children slso are not jogging - tgey are plaing by walking-skipping, running a bit, jumping, resting, all if these are combined naturally.
Ultra running and jogging (for regular people, not pros) goes hand in hand. So dont belittle jogging so quickly. The most important part of this video is at the end. Take your time and build strong feet and feet fingers even
You look good running or jogging, I just like watching you in full motion, you're in Spectacular shape, that body, everything is in the right place, and it all looks good. The natural male anatomy of a dedicated athlete, I'd stop in my tracks just to watch you go by... haha. :-)
I once heard that jogging is the worst exercise for a volleyball-player, but I didn't understand why. This actually explains it, you want to train your legs for jumping and sprinting short distances, like you do in volleyball, and running does this, but jogging does not. Jogging probably helps you build some endurance, but you'd achieve the same by running, so you might as well do that.
Defining it like this would definitely make sense, but unfortunately, it is not widely accepted this way. There are speakers who will refer to any recreanional long distance running as jogging and there are elite long distance runners, who - by this definition - jog (because they heelstrike) who will still call it running.
This definition works if we stigmatize jogging as something inferior to running and then define jogging as requiring an intentional heel-strike. Sounds pretty contrived to me.
@thebarefootsprinter I really like your explanation and love watching your videos. One sincere request. Please reduce your talking speed by 15% to let us enjoy the videos
Only its not a real explanation. It tries to establish the lable jogging for heelstriking and running for running in ideal form. While this would make sense, it is not widely accepted.
@@maximilianklein2062 Yeah, that’s right I saw at one of the YT channels that with increasing speed, you should shift the point of contact with the ground more towards the balls of the feet.
I always land on the balls of my feet. No matter how slow or fast I run. If I'm running slow, it's the balls of my feet. If I'm fast, it's the balls of my feet. And I don't do barefoot running
@@kresimirpleicYou're supposed to land on the balls of the feet. It absorbs more of the impact. Landing on your heel is what gives rise to back pain, so I don't understand where this warning of yours is coming from.
@@Nobody-Nowhere-Nothing You're supposed to land on the forefoot ONLY when sprinting. For running, the correct strike is either heel-to-toe or midfoot, depending on various factors. I know where my "warning" as you call it is coming from - experience, painful injury, spinal surgery, and a lenghty recovery monitored by three experts who went back to basics with me because I quit being stubborn and I allowed them to educate me (I don't claim to be an expert). I also know where your belief that landing on the balls of your feet while running somehow magically absorbs more of the impact comes from - bad science that forgot that the human body doesn't start at the foot and end at the knees. Your lower back will take the impact! I can relate with what you're saying because 17 years ago, I unfortunately also got sucked into that story. But running is not jumping in place so that you should avoid the heel strike. There is a huge biomechanical difference between jogging, running and sprinting. You cannot use the same technique for all three. If you think you can, you'll find out the hard (painlful) way, that you actually can't. It took me 7 and a half years of forefoot running to end up at the neurosurgery department of my local clinical hospital center. I averaged 3 10kilometer runs per week, which is not much to be fair. But, in my case, it was enough to cause a massive extrusion in the L5-S1 segment. I was folded like a lawn chair. It might take you more or less time/kilometers depending on how you're built from the inside, but you'll eventually end up having a bad lower back (not everybody ends up requiring surgery). You only get one spine in life. Take care!
I always thought of jogging as bringing your knees up higher and kind of "bouncing" up and down while you run. Whereas running is just about going straight forward.
I've naturally ran/jogged on my toes since I was a kid for some reason. Hopefully actually getting into jogging for exercise isn't gonna be super difficult cuz of that 😂

Having flat feet CANT be the difference between running and jogging, as soon as I speed up more than a speed walk I tend to go to my toes to run and I know a lot more people like that too, it's gotta be the extention of your leg, running and sprinting is full/fuller extention while with jogging you're mostly just putting your foot under you as you need
According to studies done by byu university, when running (not sprinting) the most efficient foot strike is the one that comes naturally for both amateurs and professionals and anyone in between. If your foot strike is bad or extreme, try doing some strength training (usually below the knee- so calves tib and ankles) and stretch. Also ease into mileage (slowly build every week).
There are countless examples of people who tried ran like it "came naturally" to them and were frequently injured. After trying a new footstrike pattern their problems were gone. "What comes naturally" can serve as a guide but can also misguide you. Sometimes you need to change things drastically.
What an beautiful Symphonie of a mission . Even though Julian's musik was a bit... of beat :)
Great video !
Oh Wow. 🤩 Spot On. 💫 #This
In middle school they told us the difference was while running, you will have both feet off the ground at times, and while jogging, you will always have at least one foot on the ground. Now I’m questioning everything.
I actually had to learn how to jog since I naturally ran all the time since as a kid.
I always thought it was pace. Great info
It’s complete bs and it is about pace. Don’t believe everything on the internet. These people tell you that running on the heel is bad but the majority of marathon running’s use heel strike.
Both heel strike and front foot have their own advantages and disadvantage. Heel strike is al harder on the knees front foot is harder on the shins. (Shin split risks etc)
meanwhile many world level runners are jogging
This video tries to sell "opinion" as "definition". Of course, People who are serious should try to learn how to run in good form....but Zatopek did not jog..
@@maximilianklein2062Zatopek... who was a marathoner (i.e. jogger), not a sprinter
That explains my surprisingly big calves, even when i thought i was jogging.. I was actually running.
I jog with out heel strike. So just like sprinting which is “toe off” i do the same with jogging. It’s springier, lighter, and a nice calf burn
Something your missing with your stride is that your toes are always pointing towards the ground while driving. Almost every running coach teaches you to have a 90 degree or more angle in your ankles while driving your leg forward and then slamming the forefoot in the ground just in front of the hip, either landing on a flat foot with the weight on the forefoot, or landing only on the forefoot if youre in a sprint. Running with the toes pointing downwards, and landing on them without flexing and slamming is actually working against you in terms of running economics
@Cocemanful I've tried running like this, and it makes my ankles hurt a lot. I've recorded myself running to adjust but it has not worked for me. Any tips?
@Cocemanful I'm normally a heelstriker and injury free.
I honestly didn’t even realize that I run without my heels touching the ground…
I've been told that running like that was wrong my entire life. I always felt it was more natural to bounce off your toes, you're more agile as well
Oh lol. Apparently I jog when im trying to Sprint. Never thought to use anything less than my longrst stride.
Every definition of jogging is just "running at a leisurely or gentle pace." Heel striking and rolling over the foot just is a little more efficient. However, lots of joggers will mid strike or toe strike while jogging. Jogging is all about pacing as it's typically longer distance running. It's all running.
When I was a kid I was the fastest kid at my school.
Tip for anyone here from a former competitive runner: knowing the definition of these things doesn’t matter at all, and you should just focus on doing what you like instead of these semantics.
First time I ever heard about the difference oml
I dont have arches i am completely flat footed🗿
Now that you said it, I've never seen kipchoge jog
I'm always jogging on the forefoots almost without heel contact.
The difference between jogging and running is that in a jog there is always a foot on the ground, in running there is a time between steps where no foot is on the ground.
Kipchoge uses intentional heel strikes + is the fastest man alive.. that man definitely runs
I'd love this guy to try and keep up to Kipchoge's "jogging" 😂
It's so strange. When I jog or run (heel first) I always, without fail, get a headache. When I run with a good technique it stops hurting and I can keep up much longer
It's easier for me too. When I am jogging I got pains in my legs after a while, and my legs feel heavy, when I run fast ( sprint) combined with walking fast, I feel amazing. Jogging is artificial, I guess this is the reason. Children slso are not jogging - tgey are plaing by walking-skipping, running a bit, jumping, resting, all if these are combined naturally.
Ultra running and jogging (for regular people, not pros) goes hand in hand. So dont belittle jogging so quickly. The most important part of this video is at the end. Take your time and build strong feet and feet fingers even
You look good running or jogging, I just like watching you in full motion, you're in Spectacular shape, that body, everything is in the right place, and it all looks good. The natural male anatomy of a dedicated athlete, I'd stop in my tracks just to watch you go by... haha. :-)
Thank you!!
You can have it too!! It’s for everyone. Train like I train:

Don’t train like he trains.
You’ll get injured/won’t improve. He doesn’t know anything about what he’s talking about.
@@JoeMama-hj1zk lmao
Running like this is such a calf killer when you do go from jogging 😂
Jogging to our coach: anything slower than 8:30 pace
So now we are learning how to run😂
Finally! How do I learn how to run?
I once heard that jogging is the worst exercise for a volleyball-player, but I didn't understand why. This actually explains it, you want to train your legs for jumping and sprinting short distances, like you do in volleyball, and running does this, but jogging does not. Jogging probably helps you build some endurance, but you'd achieve the same by running, so you might as well do that.
Distance running without a heel strike is a quick way to get shin splints
Defining it like this would definitely make sense, but unfortunately, it is not widely accepted this way. There are speakers who will refer to any recreanional long distance running as jogging and there are elite long distance runners, who - by this definition - jog (because they heelstrike) who will still call it running.
This definition works if we stigmatize jogging as something inferior to running and then define jogging as requiring an intentional heel-strike. Sounds pretty contrived to me.
Toe running comes so much more natural for me. I honestly enjoy it more when toe run than anything else.
I don't know how to jog so this video is reassuring
@thebarefootsprinter
I really like your explanation and love watching your videos. One sincere request. Please reduce your talking speed by 15% to let us enjoy the videos
Only its not a real explanation. It tries to establish the lable jogging for heelstriking and running for running in ideal form. While this would make sense, it is not widely accepted.
@@maximilianklein2062
Yeah, that’s right
I saw at one of the YT channels that with increasing speed, you should shift the point of contact with the ground more towards the balls of the feet.
Change speed during one route, prefer bumby roads and nature if you care about mobility and put your self under challenges
I always land on the balls of my feet. No matter how slow or fast I run. If I'm running slow, it's the balls of my feet. If I'm fast, it's the balls of my feet. And I don't do barefoot running
That's a great way to end up having back surgery. Watch out.
@@kresimirpleicYou're supposed to land on the balls of the feet. It absorbs more of the impact. Landing on your heel is what gives rise to back pain, so I don't understand where this warning of yours is coming from.
@@Nobody-Nowhere-Nothing You're supposed to land on the forefoot ONLY when sprinting. For running, the correct strike is either heel-to-toe or midfoot, depending on various factors. I know where my "warning" as you call it is coming from - experience, painful injury, spinal surgery, and a lenghty recovery monitored by three experts who went back to basics with me because I quit being stubborn and I allowed them to educate me (I don't claim to be an expert). I also know where your belief that landing on the balls of your feet while running somehow magically absorbs more of the impact comes from - bad science that forgot that the human body doesn't start at the foot and end at the knees. Your lower back will take the impact! I can relate with what you're saying because 17 years ago, I unfortunately also got sucked into that story. But running is not jumping in place so that you should avoid the heel strike. There is a huge biomechanical difference between jogging, running and sprinting. You cannot use the same technique for all three. If you think you can, you'll find out the hard (painlful) way, that you actually can't. It took me 7 and a half years of forefoot running to end up at the neurosurgery department of my local clinical hospital center. I averaged 3 10kilometer runs per week, which is not much to be fair. But, in my case, it was enough to cause a massive extrusion in the L5-S1 segment. I was folded like a lawn chair. It might take you more or less time/kilometers depending on how you're built from the inside, but you'll eventually end up having a bad lower back (not everybody ends up requiring surgery). You only get one spine in life. Take care!
@@kresimirpleicwhat?
@@tacticalchunder1207 Enjoy your forefoot strike and have a nice day. Bye.
My arches always hurt when i run
not everyone can learn to run 😢
I want to run but I'm reminded how weird it feels when my foot feels dislocated from the leg which causes me to lose my groove for awhile
Excelente
I always thought of jogging as bringing your knees up higher and kind of "bouncing" up and down while you run. Whereas running is just about going straight forward.
Dude jogging and stamina is what made the first humans human
Joke's on you, I don't have arches.
Only thing I've gathered from this is I've never actually ran.
Excelente 👌
Wtf i was jogging my entire life while thinking i was running
I've naturally ran/jogged on my toes since I was a kid for some reason. Hopefully actually getting into jogging for exercise isn't gonna be super difficult cuz of that 😂
😂 wow just soo wrong about so much in such a short space of time !!
Dam so I been jogging this whole time😢
