PRACTICE 11-3-10
On the penultimate stride, the foot must land slightly ahead of the hips to aid in the lowering of the COM. A loud foot slap at landing here indicates that some braking has occurred. This is often caused by leaning forward during the run. The tibia should be vertical at touchdown and the heel kick of the takeoff leg should be kept low.
On the takeoff step, it is again critical that the ankle be pre-tensioned and locked at 90 degrees with the foot landing slightly in front of the COM with the body erect. The start of the body rise should be after the COM has passed the board. Maximum body speed must be maintained.
