My sister and I recently started running intervals. She lands heavy, I can hear her feet hit always. I know I read an article on what we need to do to correct this issue, but am not sure where to find it. I am a new trainer and there is so much to learn, Please help. thank you. Peggi

Peggi,

Could be weak plantar flexors..

Does the heavy hit start right away, or does it become noticeable as intervals increase?

Hello Peggi Yeager,
A shorter stride should help and try landing on the ball of the foot instead of a longer stride with heel strike. The anterior tibialis could also be weak.
You are lucky to be able to enjoy runs with your sister. By the way, I have much to learn, also; that’s why I love this forum.
Take care,
Natalie aka NAPS 2 B Fit.

Thank you both for your reply. I appreciate your help and will do what we can to try to correct this. We have been doing this about a year now and it is not improving, however, she has no pain or discomfort. I am going to watch her stride when next we get out again and go from there.
