Look at some of these pictures. He has his foot so far out front of his body when he lands, and hits the ground on the back quarter of his foot. How could this guy crank out 4:50-5:00 on the roads and not get hurt? Or consider how fast he ran over 10,000m as well.
Who?
Dare I say leg speed velocity?
Because heel striking doesn't slow you down. Most elite long distance runners heel strike. Any image search can show you that.

Interesting. I thought that most used a forefoot strike. Can you name a few elites that heel strike? I'd like to take a look at the images/videos.

Tadesse is the most obvious one and he's also the fastest.
All of the racewalking records up to 42 KM ought to be given to Abdi, he has better ground contact time than those wiggly walk-cheaters.

Everyone should. It would stop them being delusional about forefoot striking.
Google didn't help you guys.

What's wrong with Bing? Does Google not have enough power over our lives already that we must ostracize anyone who does not use it? I commend him for fighting the power.
