Elites STILL haven't read Instagram about "proper" foot strike!

While influencers sell courses, stubborn elites continue:

75% heel strike

54-67% of World Championship marathoners refuse to "fix" technique

Only 2% use "optimal" forefoot strike

Evidence says stick with your natural pattern, don't follow bullshit social trends.
