Eliud Kipchoge video observation by Gray Caws 

It's been a year. Are you any closer ?

Skinny?

Are you Eliud yet?

haha i will become batman

Definitely mid-foot I would say. The key is not to focus on where you are landing your foot but rather on best alignment with gravity. Always a short STEP in front of the body.

Many thanks for your response!

Its impossible to run that fast just breathing thru the nose , that's obvious 😅

Thanks!

Thanks for your feedback and keep me updated with all your adventures!

@@GrayCaws yes! Going to complete in ultra marathons races only as many kilometers as possible as much old as possible 😊😊

Thank you! Will do!

There are many benefits to a quick cadence since it activates elastic energy through muscles, tendons, and fascia. Although it seems counterintuitive this is more effective and efficient for running than a slow cadence. A slower cadence means more ground contact and requires more muscle contraction to propel the body forwards (windlass mechanism). A quicker cadence encourages a shorter step in front of centre of gravity, therefore reducing over-stride; it reduces rate of perceived exertion when changing speed/gear; and studies also show that it can reduce the risk of lower limb injuries*.

This action or “elastic recoil” is sometimes referred to as an “impulsive” and “springy” gait, rebounding along on compliant legs and unlocked knees. Instead of using all the body’s energy, the leg and foot have a built-in “return energy” system for a significant amount of energy. This relies on the Achilles and other tendons to recycle impact energy. In running, the body has an effective muscle work-minimizing strategy - many of the foot muscles don’t technically push you off the ground like during walking [The windlass mechanism] takes impact energy, sometimes referred to as ‘elastic energy’ associated with gravity and impact, and uses it for propelling the body forward naturalrunningcenter.com/2011/05/01/elastic-recoil/

Sprint training involving triple extension drills by pressing into the ground may be ineffective due to a lack of push-off phase in running... since eccentric contractions were observed in muscles previously thought to push off, ensuring eccentric strength, force absorption, and tendon elasticity is essential… [use exercises for] improving landing mechanics, [such as] skipping with a rope Andrew Bullimore
