running in the pool?

Why are you running the pool? And why are you doing shallow-water running vs. deep-water running?

(I'll better answer your question once I know your answers to mine, because there's a lot more than foot strike to consider.)

If you are turning to pool running because of injury, do not do shallow-water running. You should only shallow-water run when you are healthy enough to run on dry land.

When shallow-water running, your form should be the same as on land. If you run heel-toe on land, you should run heel-toe in the water as well. You should wear the same running shoes, and if you wear orthotics or anything, those should be worn as well.

If you are turning to pool running because of injury and need/want some tips on deep-water running, let me know.
