[QUOTE=Sprocket Man]3. One cure for a heel striker may be to shorten your stride and increase your leg turnover. That said, I don't know if it's really necessary to go against what you feel comfortable doing. A heel striker isn't necessarily a bad thing. Faris Al Sultan won the Hawaii IM in 2005 and he's a heel striker.

. Thanks for the help!
