Saw this online and am really confused. I'm sure that this is the opposite of what I was told and have read to do.
Thanks for looking.

Anyways after shortening my stride and landing under my center of gravity but mainly landing first at the place behind and just almost between my first and second MTP and then letting the lateral part of my forefoot land next and then my heel kiss the ground.
I learned to run with a faster cadence and land under my centre of gravity (rather than ahead of it) with a medial forefoot landing (between the first and second toe on the ball of the foot).
Well, some grips put you in more mechanically advantageous, i.e. 'natural', and therefore safer positions. Powerlifters use extreme stances and grips to reduce the range of motion, but their joints pay for it in later years. If you are going for longterm strength development, and not short-term performance goals, then medium stances and grips that contract the muscle most at medium lengths are the way to go.Just as weightlifters use varied grips
You give more credit to the current state of science than it deserves. Much is still unknown.A study of anatomy and biomechanics reveals how the body has evolved to move most efficiently.
We'll have to disagree on that. I don't think, for example, that hip replacement surgery would be possible if a clear picture of biomechanical function wasn't available. I think you are correct in asserting that rehabbing back to 'natural' or normal functioning is still more art than science though. And certainly, learning how to maintain high functionality into the later years of life is a science in its infancy. But as far as I know, there are no major disagreements among introductory anatomy and physiology textbooks. The facts are mostly settled. We've been studying this for thousands of years, and healthy, active children still do all the basic movements quite easily, probably with greater than 90-95% efficiency. Only more advanced, athletic techniques need to be taught to them, as I witness this weekend watching my seven-year-old daughter play basketball.You give more credit to the current state of science than it deserves. Much is still unknown.
We're talking past one another now. I'm talking about basic movements common to our shared anatomy, like running. You're talking about the details of elite athletic performance in a wide variety of sports. No doubt there are different body types, and small differences in execution. That's one of the reasons pro football is the only sport I watch, because it involves so many different body types, from (relatively) slender and speedy guys, to huge giants. One of the things I've often wondered about is why kickers aren't huge guys. You would think they'd be able to kick it farther.Individuals really are different.

I'm sure that many might agree with you, if they were not among the thousands affected by the recalls.We'll have to disagree on that. I don't think, for example, that hip replacement surgery would be possible if a clear picture of biomechanical function wasn't available.
I would agree, if all of us were in the same age group and had similar body types, athletic backgrounds, and foot characteristics. But, we don't!We're talking past one another now. I'm talking about basic movements common to our shared anatomy, like running.
One other important ability Lee [Saxby] mentioned was being able ... to isolate the Flexor Hallucis Brevis. Lee [Saxby]is able to stretch his big toe far away from his second toe ... Even another barefoot runner we spoke to who has run a few marathons couldn't do that trick.
Along with isolating the FHB is pressing down on the ground with the big toe when running.
Maybe the big guys go for positions where they are paid more?One of the things I've often wondered about is why kickers aren't huge guys. You would think they'd be able to kick it farther.
You're missing the point, but at this point, I no longer care.I'm sure that many might agree with you, if they were not among the thousands affected by the recalls.
