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.

Iets onverwachts

Voor haar nieuwste boek Door de barrière sprak hardloper en wetenschapsjournalist Mariska van Sprundel met Roy Hoornweg. Hoornweg deed in 2022 een gooi naar het wereldrecord marathonlopen op de loopband. Van Sprundel sprak met hem over motivatie en doorzettingsvermogen.
