Barefoot Running – Focus on the Trail

Dr. Phelan,

When you are using the forefoot strike, does your heel ever hit the ground?

Thanks.

Yes and no. At times there is no heel strike and at other times there is a light heel strike as dictated by the terrain. However, with forefoot strike the weight is carried mostly on the forefoot.
