Chi Running: Full foot support

Your weight should be equally distributed throughout the foot.  When running this is often called the “midfoot strike”, mostly to differentiate between forefoot and heel strikers. Picture 3 points on the bottom of your foot, one under your pinky toe, one under your big toe and one in the middle of the heel and think of this as a “tripod” of stability.  It is a highly stable configuration, where your weight is distributed evenly across your foot.
