over-striding and heel-striking = bad
under-striding in the sense that you are pretty much hopping up and down = also bad.
Personally- I have trouble with my right knee when I either run below a certain speed (my gait must start to approach that hoppy jogging gait) or when I wear soft cushy running sneakers (it's possible I start to heel strike in these?). I'm fine otherwise.0 -
over-striding ... = bad
I would generally agree with this point....and heel-striking...
Irrelevant, there is nothing inherently wrong with heel strike, and there is a significant amount wrong with intentionally changing gait.under-striding in the sense that you are pretty much hopping up and down = also bad.
Why's that then?... when I wear soft cushy running sneakers...
That would suggest that you don't supinate a great deal.
