And here's something else interesting:

This would indicate that there’s no reason to switch from a rearfoot stride (common to roughly 80% of shoe-wearing runners) to a forefoot stride, as some have argued in the last few years. At least there’s no reason in terms of improved running economy, which is nearly synonymous with faster race times.

Having said that, I didn't change for reasons of improved running economy, but to try and prevent plantar fasciitis-like injuries. I felt a hell of a lot more efficient going up that hill in Henley though.
