I understand the short gait and the posture for trails, but I’ve recently been corrected about how to place me feet, or maybe I was given some incorrect information. I was told that I should be running on the balls of my feet and not my heels. In trying to change my gait, I’ve injuried my achilles tendon or my calf muscle (not sure which.) Can you tell me the correct footing for running up and down hill on the trails? Thank you

I actually started it before discovering this website, and have since incorporated many of the diet advice – though I have yet to brave the full on vegetarian road. Trail running for me is so liberating, it honestly does not feel like exercise!
