Here's a short video of a run I did on vacation.  It gives a glimpse of some of the conditions I find comfortable at my present level of training, and a couple slow-motion views of my form.

I'd really like to make a better video, in profile, with a high speed camera.  One of these days...

It looks to me like you are reaching forward with your heel, but just before "touch down," you bring the forefoot down. Not a heel strike, but a true midfoot strike. 

Thanks for posting. That's encouraging.

There's an important difference between my form and "heel striking". I know there's a difference because I used to be a heel striker and I was a wreck.  This feels very different.  As I've said before, it's very hard to describe, much easier to just get out and do it. 

 

The heels touch first, but lightly, and by the time my full weight comes down the whole foot is down, distributing the load.

 

Don't just focus on the feet, pay attention to where my feet are in relation to the rest of my body at the moment of landing.  They're underneath and/or behind my center of gravity, and my knees are bent.  Foot landing is unimportant.  It is the sum of your entire posture that makes you a smooth, happy runner or not.

I couldn't agree more with this.  Last winter I started working on my form.  I tried to focus on bearing my weight at mid foot and not pay attention to what part of my foot actually touched the ground first.  Funny, months later when I tried barefoot running it felt very similar in feel.

That's a great video, Ed.  Thanks for sharing it.
