WHAT YOUR FEET DO EVERY STEP OF YOUR RUN
During running, your feet perform an incredibly complex sequence with every step—absorbing impact, storing energy, and propelling you forward in a split second. Each stride includes phases of contact and flight, with forces reaching up to 2.5 times your body weight on landing. As your foot hits the ground, it naturally pronates to absorb shock, then stiffens into a stable lever for push-off. At the same time, structures like the Achilles tendon and plantar fascia store and release elastic energy, helping drive you into your next stride efficiently.
