A more important moment happens RIGHT after the foot strike!
It is the transition of the foot as it goes under the body known as the midstance phase.
This can appreciated more from a front or back view.
There are a few things to point out (and more than I even mention here).
One misconception is that there are people who see some foot pronation and immediately think it needs to be fixed.
However, this is an essential motion to better help the foot absorb forces during the impact.
Second, look at that hip control.
What you’ll find in runners with limited hip control is increased dip of the hip… specifically contralateral hip drop.
Increased movement here may correlate to less efficiency.
You can see the hip control of Kiplimo as goes through the midstance phase.
By optimizes energy stored here, this means more potential energy that can used to move him forward during the propulsion phase.
