Midfoot Strike....
I decided at the beginning of summer that I was going to switch from a heel-strike to a midfoot-strike. I heard it was more efficient and could reduce injuries and make me faster. I also heard that in some people, it could increase injuries. As for me, all it's done so far is give me some blisters on the balls of my feet and they are now turning into calluses. Those hurt, for now. Otherwise, I do feel faster, more efficient, and less overall pain. Maybe those guys were on to something? I guess I'll have to wait until the June 11th Sounds to Narrows 12k to see if things are working or not. I hope this was a good switch. I don't think my feet will be happy with me if I put them through this beating and then went back to my old ways...
