Hell, if that beast was chasing me, I’d heel strike like nobody’s business if it would get me out of the magic kingdom faster.

His knee doesn’t seem any straighter and foot doesn’t look any more dorsiflexed than Desi’s in this picture: http://www.letsrun.com/photos/…
I know that this post was done in jest, but just feel like it’s hard to determine whether someone is overstriding or not based on a still picture. Especially when the background is Photoshopped in and it’s impossible to determine how far from ground contact he actually is.

Yeah, it’s possible that he’ll recover a bit before actual foot strike – still photos are very hard to interpret in that way. Just trying to have some fun :0
