In today's video, Alex, Thys and Julius use STRYD to analyse and compare their foot strike patterns, measuring the biomechanical differences between three very different runners at three very different levels.

Julius is a beginner runner with a heel strike. Alex is an amateur runner with a midfoot strike. Thys is an elite runner with a forefoot strike. Using STRYD data, the three break down exactly how each foot strike affects the key metrics, and what that means for efficiency, load, and performance at every level of running.

Whether you are just starting out or deep into your running journey, understanding your foot strike and what the data says about it could change the way you train. If you want an honest, data-driven look at running biomechanics, Alex, Thys and Julius deliver.
