Hi, I've started running in the gym for just over 2 weeks running about 5 times a week. I'm pleased to see my fitness getting better, on the first day i could only ran for about 25 minutes and today i managed 50 minutes and still not THAT tired! Anyway, last night I read this following article about the correct running techniques and posture. According to the article "The foot should strike the surface with the ball of the foot, in a dorsiflexed position. And what I think is strange is that they say the heel of the foot doesn't suppose to touch the ground.
On the other hand, when I visited my local 'running' shop today. This guy who works there told me that proper running technique should be that the heel strikes the surface of the floor first followed the rest of the foot. So which is correct??
Oh something else I'd like to share with you all, I got a pair of New Balance 825 today from tkmaxx (16.99 pounds!). When running with it, and the result is amazing! Its so comfortable, and IMO it really increases my performance. So If you're like me, who has just started running. You should get a proper pair of running shoes!
