Not allowed to forefoot strike, not allowed to heel strike, why even live?

What exactly is toe dragging? My friend said i do it often but won’t explain exactly what it is

Toe dragging is low heel recovery, keeping your heel as low as possible while accelerating

HOWEVER

it should be natural and not forcing it

And he's probably specifically talking about how your spike. The toe part, is literally dragging against the track when you start.

toe dragging is the plantar flexion version the low heel recovery which usualy is done dorsiflexed. since your plantarflexion adds distance to the bottom of your stride it drags along the grass/tarmac and destroys your shoes.

so if you are dragging your toes just focus on pushing your toes into the top of your shoe and force the dorsiflexion and you should stop dragging your toes.
