@ezzatabed_: Most beginners think they have to run a certain way… but truth is: Everyone’s running style is a little different Your body, structure, and experience all play a role The 3 foot strikes 👣 1️⃣ Heel strike: heel lands first Feels natural for beginners The main issue is usually overstriding which could lead to shin splints 2️⃣ Midfoot strike: whole foot lands together Smooth, balanced, controlled Often more efficient for most runners 3️⃣Forefoot strike: front of foot lands first Great for speed More stress on calves/Achilles over long runs So what’s best? There’s no universal “best” The goal is to run smooth, comfortable, and pain-free I personally prefer midfoot striking because: It feels the most efficient The landing is softer and smoother The impact is spread more evenly through the legs instead of hitting one area hard But that doesn’t mean you have to force it Don’t overthink your foot strike Focus on shorter, quicker steps Let your body naturally adjust over time If it feels smooth and pain-free -> you’re doing it right Hope this helps 🙌 #runningtips #runbetter #beginnerrunner #runner #Running
