Don't listen to sources that teach you to focus on your footstrike!
We're not big believers on the "one perfect footstrike". The reality is that genetics play a role, and that you'll employ many different landings depending on surface, shoes (heavier/thicker heel=more rearfoot contact), hills, etc. An efficient, low impact foot strike is largely a RESULT of getting your arms, posture, and cadence right.

Despite what many zealots may say, a light, soft heel strike (under a bent knee) can be an efficient way to run (assuming everything else is right and this is happening under a backward traveling leg)
Also, contrary to what many barefoot running "experts" may say...nearly all humans heel strike while running barefoot on soft surfaces like sand and grass (this is what a moderately cushioned zero drop shoe simulates).

Use a FloatRun Harness to dial in your arms, posture, and cadence = great foot strike for your genetics.
