Marty Hoffmann, MD, and coworkers just posted the results of their video analysis of footstrike patterns of ultramarathoners in the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run here in California. http://sharmanian.blogspot.com/2012/…44 1977180649 They found that the preferred method of footstrike was rearfoot striking (80-90%) for all four points in the race that they filmed the runners. It was also interesting that they also found that serum creatine kinase was lower in the rearfoot strikers than in the midfoot and forefoot strikers
