In this episode, Alison Marie challenges the common belief that midfoot striking is superior to heel striking. She explains that switching to a midfoot strike isn't always beneficial, as every runner's body functions differently, and forcing such a change can reduce stride efficiency. Instead, she stresses the importance of proper whole body mechanics, focusing on stacking, mid-stance loading, and powering through hip extension for more efficient running.
