need help on running technique

another thing is maybe ur legs rn't strong enough and that's y it's forcing ur feet to do that. just like if ur legs r tired ur going to drag ur feet more likely. but except that ur running at a faster pace so ur legs have to keep up or else ur face hits the dirt hard lol

 

You just identified it yourself.
When running long distance yout technique and stride are very important.
Run smooth.
Roll off the ball of your foot when you step.
Run quiet and fast.
Keep your head on the same horizontal plane as you run (as much as possible).
No thumping or slapping steps (not at all).
Relax your arms and keep them low at all times.

 

Most people cannot improve the way they run. You can try to work on your technique but I doubt you will improve. As an extreme example, people with flat feet roll from the ball of the foot towards the inside putting too much pressure on the big toe. If you do not correct the way you run, and you run a lot, later on in life you will have problem walking because you have too much pain in your big toe. The feeling is like gout. The good news is in the last two years shoe technology has fixed many foot and knee problems.... Long distance runners are experts in this field. Look up a runners magazine online to read about the correct shoes that will fit your foot or foot problems. An expensive shoe does not mean its the best for your foot. You just need a shoe that corrects your problems if you have any or prevents problems from happening. I have seen running magazines provide a list of good shoes ranging from 40 to 120 USD... .and they break them out by paw type so its important to understand your type before shopping.
