I’m trying to get my form down and I’ve had a history of achilles issues.
I keep my pelvis much more neutral now, more upright rather than leaning very forward, feet strike much closer to my center of mass..
But one thing I’m confused about is knee drive. I was watching some pro runner form, but from the ones I observed it appears that their knee drive goes fairly high compared to mine.
One example is Parker Stinson. He has exaggerated arm and legs. I also noticed that by doing the higher knee drive, he lands nearly perfectly under his center of mass every time. On an unrelated note, I can’t seem to find a definite answer on whether heel strike or forefoot strike adds less pressure on the achilles
Is there anything that you had to adjust, specifically that was causing strain on the achilles? If you have a photo or video for comparison, please post that as well
