I have no digicam, only a cellphone camera, and its video sucks. :-) I'll just try to borrow from someone else. Last year I've tried switching to midfoot striking, and it seems to relieve my "Runner's Knee" problems. However, if I strike too far in front at the forefoot, my calves seem to get tired easily. So midfoot, I think, is the sweet spot :-)Joggernatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110710737008259336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872975237176343979.post-83681845610089039272010-08-25T16:34:11.006+08:002010-08-25T16:34:11.006+08:00@nathaniel, to clarify, that slowmo video of Ryan ...@nathaniel, to clarify, that slowmo video of Ryan Hall was not taken by me. I just got it from YouTube. For my running gait video, I just used the video-option of my point-and-shoot digicam (just like any ordinary digicam out there equipped for recording videos). I did the slowmo on my laptop using Windows Movie Maker. :)<br /><br />Good luck on your goal to be a midfoot striker. I hope to achieve the same too!<br /><br />Thanks Nathaniel!daytripper1021https://www.blogger.com/profile/14840226330859305868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872975237176343979.post-45404681627589010192010-08-25T15:24:32.675+08:002010-08-25T15:24:32.675+08:00Hi Roelle, nice post!

I always thought elite runners heel-strike due to their photos and in most videos, but your post with a high speed camera does prove them to be forefoot/midfoot strikers.<br /><br />I also try to be midfoot striker, I believe this is the best technique for long distance runners, but most pictures also show me as heel-striker. Then I was confused because the wear of my shoes are only at the forefoot, and almost no wear at the heel. I guess your video finally explains it.Joggernatzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03110710737008259336noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872975237176343979.post-20498940899724401142010-08-16T14:06:10.404+08:002010-08-16T14:06:10.404+08:00well I'm giving myself a month or two from now...well I'm giving myself a month or two from now before I video myself running again. I hope to see improvements by that time. The Newtons are actually great, coupled with reminding myself constantly of Chi running techniques. I'll try to post my full review of the Newtons after I get more mileage on it. thanks Kenley!daytripper1021https://www.blogger.com/profile/14840226330859305868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5872975237176343979.post-91293778890522525382010-08-14T23:45:26.651+08:002010-08-14T23:45:26.651+08:00Wow man, very cool.

Thanks for sharing this, as I am focusing more on my form. Keep Running!Kenleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09512831713445031916noreply@blogger.com
