Definition
A running foot strike pattern where the heel contacts the ground first, typically occurring when the foot lands ahead of the body's center of gravity. While common among recreational runners, it can create higher impact forces and braking effects compared to other strike patterns.
Etymology
Simple compound of 'heel' (Old English 'hela') and 'strike' (ground contact). The term became significant in running analysis in the 1970s-80s as researchers began studying the biomechanical differences between various foot strike patterns and their relationship to injury.
Kelly Says
Heel striking became dominant only after the invention of modern running shoes with thick heel cushioning in the 1970s - before that, most runners naturally used midfoot or forefoot patterns. About 80% of recreational runners heel-strike, but interestingly, many automatically switch to midfoot or forefoot striking when they speed up significantly, showing that our bodies intuitively know more efficient patterns at higher speeds!
