• Ensure you land with your foot beneath your hips. Focus on driving your knee forwards rather than reaching out with you foot. This will help avoid overstriding and ensure you keep your knee bent.
• Concentrate on foot pick up. This may sound counter-intuitive but this will help ensure you avoid landing heavily Take shorter strides and maintain a cadence of between 160- 200 strides per minute.
• Maintain an upright posture. As you run tuck your seat beneath you and lengthen your spine upwards so that it feels like your pelvis and chest are being slightly pulled forward.
• Relax your shoulders and allow them to drop. This will help relieve upper body tension that wastes energy.
• When first starting to run in Vibram Five Fingers, reduce the distance you would normally run and build up slowly. Be patient. It will take time to get used to running in Vibram Five Fingers.
• While you are adapting, concentrate on your form rather than speed or distance.
• Scan the terrain before you. Pay attention to obstacles and debris in your path. Vibram Five Fingers have thinner soles than conventional running shoes. This requires extra care to avoid potential hazards that could cause injury
