More of the same…
Last week I wrote: When I read things like this……I roll my eyes. Not because there is anything wrong with the publication; it is just the heat and vitriol that I and others were subjected to over the years by the fan boy haters for pointing out what the overwhelming preponderance of evidence is continuing […] Continue reading
Monday morning laugh
Not any evidence based review or anything like that today. Remember all the propaganda, rhetoric and vitriol about heel striking being evil? I will just leave this Rio Marathon Facebook comment here: As always, I go where the evidence takes me until convinced otherwise ….and a Facebook comment is not evidence, but I think we […] Continue reading
Running Economy and Foot Strike Pattern
When I first caught the title of this ‘study’ my initial reaction was add it to the massive pile of backlogged articles that I need to comment on! I have litigated the running economy and foot strike and shoe type enough times: here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here and here). However, this ‘study’ was different as it […] Continue reading
How Good are Runners at Self Identifying Their Foot Strike Pattern?
They’re not: There is now more evidence from when I last wrote about this. Continue reading
Impact Related Factors and Running Injury
I have blogged before (Just How Significant are Heel Impacts at Causing Injury When Running?) and repeatedly commented that the evidence that links impact related factors to running injuries is far from compelling. Continue reading
Foot strike pattern and injuries in ultramarathoners
The preponderance of studies on foot strike pattern and injury risk have shown that there are no differences. In terms of injury rates, they are the same regardless of the foot strike pattern. Yet despite that evidence, I fail to understand why there is still a debate and so much rhetoric on this Continue reading
Mechanical and physiological analysis of minimalist versus traditionally shod running
This is the 4th new study to be published in the last few days. The first one showed no injury differences between barefoot and shod runners; the next one showed no differences in injuries and performance between heel and midfoot/forefoot strikers; the third one found some muscles generate more force when barefoot running and other muscles generate more force when running in a shoe Continue reading

Muscle Activity in Barefoot vs Shod Running
A number of relevant studies a have been published in the last few days. Rather than add them to that massive backlog of papers I need to write about, I am trying to knock them out quickly. The first one showed no injury differences between barefoot and shod runners; the next one showed no differences in injuries and performance between heel and midfoot/forefoot strikers.

Foot Strike Pattern and Injury Rates
Hot on the heels of the prospective study I just reviewed on injury rates between barefoot and traditionally shod runners that showed that there really weren’t any differences we have a publication showing that here were no differences between different foot strike patterns as well. I have already discussed this study as it was first presented at the ACSM conference last year. At that time a number of critics did not want to give any weight to this study as it was only a conference abstract and not a full peer reviewed publication. Continue reading
