Is it similar to your thoughts on the pronation thing?

This one's a little bit different.

Again, it sounds like picking and choosing here, but there is a little bit more evidence to support the idea of either what we call a mid-foot or a forefoot strike being a bit more efficient.

The way it's definitely touted online is very fear-mongery, and they talk about the increased impact and forces that go through your shin bones in particular, as well as your calcaneus, the heel bone, when you are doing heel strike running.

But There are three main types we talk about, heel, midfoot and forefoot, where you're just landing on a different part of your foot.

And the main issue with a heel-foot strike is just that, again, in an isolated system, if we focus in on just that and nothing else, it seems to produce more of a braking force.

So when running, we are trying to minimize the amount of time we spend on the ground and maximize our forward projection.

Yeah.
