Hi,

I have been trying to read up on correct running technique to avoid the niggling sore knee injuries and strains that seem to come from higher milage and there seems to be two schools of thought on foot placement.

1) Heel strikes first then roll onto toes and push off. I am doing this at the moment.
2) keep on the front of your feet/ balls of your feet?

Seems that I am jarring my legs from heel first and I do notice at points when running I do switch to front of foot especially on very rough ground. Saying that it is hard to switch completly to front of foot and does seem unnatural at points.

How do people here tend to run? Is there thought into technique or is it just one foot in front of the other? Has anyone changed technique consiously and to what results?

Looking forward to your thoughts on this
