Egad, no. When going downhill land on your midsole first with flexed knees and in your center of gravity. Same for uphill and flats.
rubbish…just run
This will help me, ta
the person running has bad form, his fists cross the middle.
Get a foam roller and stretch those IT bands. I’ve been plagued with ITBS for awhile and the foam roller is the best thing I have found so far. It rocks I would recomend it to anyone and everyone and I do!
Heel striking..!!! Surely we should be looking to encourage athletes to land light and relaxed on the feet, with a ball of foot/mid-foot landing and pull up from hamstrings (rather than toe-off). This is more efficient and less likely to end in injury.
