We recommend three key exercises to achieve DO NOT LAND with your heel.

Also, this way you can improve your stride technique
 
Why is it not good to land with the HEEL?
 
BECAUSE IT CAN GIVE YOU AN INJURY: If you tend to land with your heel when you walk fast or run, you are more likely to end an injury. The first thing is that when making the stride, a great breakout force is used, that impulse you give to start your whole body, ends up falling only on a small part, your heel, add to that the energy with which it falls, there already you have a high percentage of possible injury, being one of the most common in these cases tibial periostitis.
 
BECAUSE YOU WASTE TIME LANDING ON THE HEEL. Another disadvantage of this stride is that, when landing with the back of the foot, you are wasting time. How? cushioning your fall, because what I know is how "sinking" occurs, forces your body to take an inadequate posture, and you waste the energy of the fall. The ideal, and what the professionals recommend, is to have the minimum contact of the foot with the ground, here we will show you three exercises to achieve the perfect landing. TO AVOID IT AND GET A BETTER CAREER TECHNIQUE:
OUR “DEPOSITORY”… Run without shoes:
Sometimes the sneakers are what make the difference, particularly those with excess drop (when there is excess heel and there is a notable difference between the heel and the toe of the shoe), that is why one of the first recommendations is running without shoes, or wearing low-top shoes on a comfortable surface, be it grass, or any other place that cannot harm you when you fall, you will immediately notice the difference and feel the need to land in the middle part of your foot.
 
Shorten the stride:
Sometimes, less is more. You may be trying to take one step longer than you can, and the long stride is affecting your landing. Try to shorten the stride, do it repeatedly, and you will also see how your foot is giving, and looking for more impact with the middle area.
 
Do running exercises to land with the forefoot:
And like all sports, this also needs exercise, you can perform light or static movement routines, taking small jumps, but using the forefoot, alternating, left, right and vice versa as a primary tool, with this type of exercise you will see more easily your way of falling and what areas you are landing, at the same time that you will be reactivating your feet The skipping exercise can also help you.
