A Review of Modifiable Biomechanical Factors Affecting Running Economy. Moore IS. Sports Med. 2016. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26816209/ Running Technique is an Important Component of Running Economy and Performance. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28263283/ Folland JP, et al. Med Sci Sports Exerc. 2017. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/full/10.1177/0363546519849920   Important to note though than less vertical oscillation is associated with better economy within groups of distance runners, eg ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/28263… ; ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/26816… compliant tendons but greater leg stiffness is the goal for distance runners, correct? This video shows how end. runners compliance & economy are achieved by greater vertical excursions vs. sprinters who hit hard, get off the ground fast and burn more energy.   https://www.nytimes.com/video/sports/100000004379956/identifying-the-best-way-to-run.html typically have peak vertical forces of 2.5-3.0 times body weight to offset gravity during contact portion of the stride. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hEnIbklXOiU Effects of footwear midsole thickness on running biomechanics Sports Medicine and Biomechanics Mark H.C.
