So for the last few weeks or so, I have been running with my toes first, rather than with my heels first.
Why, you ask? Isn't it easier to run on your heels first? Isn't that how people run?
Nope.
In fact, I'm pretty sure that people have only started running with their heels first when actually shoes for running came out, namely from Nike.
Running toes first is actually better for you, easing off weight and pressure of your heel and onto the ball of your foot, where it's actually supposed to go. Plus, science has shown that humans evolved into the upright animals we are today with the fact that running on our toes helps us run for longer distances, perfect for hunting animals on the plains.
Science is boring, isn't it?
Really, I'm running on my toes to get massive calves.
The ladies love those calves.
