Smooth and like I'm on a gimbal, very little up and down movement, straight back, forefoot strike mostly.
Generally I try to run quietly, whenever I see people stomping holes into the sidewalk while they're huffing and puffing along I cringe and worry for their joints.
Run slow and light, y'all.
Do you wear normal running shoes? I tend to struggle with the drop they have. But I have enjoyed running in barefoot shoes and even completely barefoot. It definitely makes me forefoot strike more.
Vibram Five Fingers almost exclusively, sometimes Merryl Vapor Gloves (zero drop, wide toe box). I find running in regular running shoes unpleasant, very little ground feel and feedback, feels very stompy.
