Forefoot running mistakenly gets confused as being toe strike running, which is a completely different foot strike pattern that is very damaging! This is because in toe strike running, where initial ground-contact is made high up on the toes, the heel never contacts the ground, which was found to place enormous stress and strain on the lower leg, resulting in shin splints.
In forefoot running, initial ground-contact is made lower on the forefoot, on the balls of the foot, followed by the heel lowering down to the ground. This enables impact pressure to spread best over the foot while reducing mechanical work on the shin!
