I’m sorry this link might not direct you to the correct show for long, but on The One show this evening we saw something interesting. Research as recently shown that most non-professional runners, such as those that will enter the great north run this wekend, don’t run correctly. They run heel-toe, as most people do when walking. The most efficient and least painful way to run is, apparently, to run on the balls of your feet. That might not, in itself, be interesting, but I find it very, very ironic. Like many ambulant ‘toids, I walk on the balls of my feet because my Achilles tendon is tight. Growing up, my parents and physios were forever reminding me to walk properly and put my heels down. Now it turns out that I was walking in the best way all along, and I can point to the research that proves it. Win!
