Are you consciously trying to place your feet directly beneath your body, aiming for a perfect downward landing?

The truth is, even top runners can't always place their feet perfectly directly beneath their bodies.

This video explains the true meaning of direct foot contact and how to bring your landing point closer without consciously thinking about your feet, along with research findings. 🏃
