A heel strike can certainly be a sign of an inefficient running technique. But that in no way means that a heel strike is always bad, or that it is always better to land on the midfoot or forefoot. As a rule, a heel strike is more a sign that something else isn’t right than that the heel strike itself makes your running technique poor.
There are also good ways to land more on the forefoot and really bad ways to land more on the forefoot. Here, you’ll learn the difference.
I’ll also explain how exactly the same thing can cause problems for those who want to run in so-called barefoot shoes, such as Vibram FiveFingers.

TESTIMONIALS on "The Art of Effective Running Technique":
"6:45/km to 5:25/km (10:52/mile - 8:43/mile) at the same heart rate in 8 weeks. I would recommend this course to anyone who runs at any level.”
"After a year of shin splints I went for a run yesterday and was almost in (joyful) tears because I had zero pain, so thank you!!"
”I am a 2h30 Belgian marathon runner and I must say this is the best course I've seen. I am promoting you to all my running friends. It should be mandatory for all runners.”
"I was really skeptical about the online course. Thought it couldn't possibly work if you don't see me. But then it was like magic. Like you saw me and saw exactly what I was doing"
"The best money I have ever spent. Great mix of humour, practical technique and theory. I’ve knocked 30 secs off my average pace to 4:30 and at 53 I’m absolutely astonished how relaxed I feel running."
"Just wanted to say Im 2/3 through your running program and WOW what an insane difference".
"I'm only 1/3 of the way through the course and I'm already seeing PR after PR on Strava.”
”After 5 weeks I am following your video course, I am able to run 20-30"/km faster at same perceived effort!”
”I have done the first two audio lessons now. It's amazing what a difference you made for me. I ran 90 minutes yesterday and have never felt so fresh both during and after the workout, and then I have never run so fast with the same low heart rate.”
Update from a runner after 2 of the 6 audio lessons
”I can't thank Fredrik enough for putting his running course out there. I couldn't run more than 3Km without my calves straining - within two or three videos, he'd got me running properly, and I'm now happily running half marathons. Your course is one of the best "fitness money" choices I've made. Money well spent!"
"Fantastic running course. Fredrik is an excellent teacher with a unique approach. I highly recommend this course to runners of all levels.”
"I knew nothing about running other than put one foot forward in front of the other...and fast. Then I signed up for his course. Mind blowing!... and too cheap if you ask me. Totally recommend it."
”Oh my goodness!!! This is an absolutely FANTASTIC course !!! Ive always struggled to enjoy running......pains in knees, calves, hip flexors......it wasnt pretty. Then I found this course and was astounded at how much my running improved after each lesson and with less effort than I was using before. Im now kicking myself for wasting time bumbling around with random techniques when I could have gone straight to the expert!”
