"There's a saying: "You never hear a barefoot runner coming." That's because a barefoot runner lands on the ball of the foot with a bent knee. Muscle elasticity is utilized with each stride and the runner lands as softly as possible to reduce the impact on his foot and leg. The result: absolute silence in his approach. Poor running mechanics can often be heard as well as seen. If you are landing with a loud clunk, you're probably landing with your heel or midfoot and not using muscle elasticity. Sometimes trying to run as quietly as possible will yield a soft, fast, and efficient stride." - Brian Mackenzie (author of Power, Speed, Endurance)
