https://www.runnersworld.com/uk/health/injury/a34393310/cheptegeis-overpronation/Cheptegei has broken three world records this year, while pronating quite dramatically, there have been some claims that he would run even faster should this pronation be corrected, what do you think about this?
''If you look closely at Cheptegei you’ll see that he lands on his mid to forefoot which defines him as a "mid foot pronator" and not a “foot flat to the floor pronator” which is very different,'' say Cole.
''Again, to simplify, the longer your foot is on the floor when you land the more energy and force you have to generate to return the foot back ready for the push off phase and Cheptegei spends very little time on the floor.
''The final point to make on this is that Cheptegei has adapted to his unique running style over the countless hours of training runs and to start tweaking would/could highly increase the risk of injury and hence reduced training runs. So, personally, I think that if it isn''t broken, leave well alone.''
