Episode 36: Understanding Your Running Gait
Manage episode 379744093 series 3455472
Is a heel strike as bad as people say? How much does your running cadence actually matter? What is the proper running form for your feet? We answer those questions - and more - in our discussion on running gait.
Discussion points include:
- Is there an ideal running cadence?
- Should you change your running cadence?
- What is vertical oscillation?
- Is there an ideal footstrike pattern?
- Is a rearfoot strike (heel strike) bad for you?
- Do you need a running gait analysis?
- What are overpronation and supination?
- Our top tips for improving your running gait
We also answer a listener’s question on how to start trying running gels! The study in the European Journal of Sport Science is cited below in the reference list.
