The Runtone was the first toning shoe released

So are you interested in running fast? Would you like to know what separates the amateur sprinters from the professional ones? Well it all has to do with technique and training. As far as training goes that's going to take time and natural progression. But as far as your technique goes you can see results immediately. One of the most important aspects of your Sprint mechanics is your foot action.

The Runtone was the first toning shoe released purely for running, and has allowed those who enjoy a faster pace of exercise to get similar toning benefits as walkers. For those wanting to tone faster and lose weight quickly, they are the perfect choice.

A MEVA midsole has also been added to improve the cushioning for higher impact exercises, to reduce the shockwaves further still. However not everything has been tweaked and changed in the Runtone, as the shoes feature the very same Smoothfit seamless lining which made their forerunners such a popular, and comfortable choice. With all the seams kept well away from the feet, the potential for irritation and blister formation is greatly reduced.


Your foot action serves two purposes that allows you to run faster. The first purpose is that it supports your entire body weight during the support phase of your sprint cycle. And second, it propels the body forward during the drive phase. While your foot is in its natural cycle you have to remember to make sure your foot steps over the opposite knee while sprinting.

In contrast to Easytone shoes, the Runtones feature 5 small air filled pods in the heel, and one in the forefoot, with the surface area increased than that of the Easytones to maximise grip. Three narrow rubber strips on the forefoot give much better traction for fast running, and allows the movement of air within the pods to be better controlled for added stability. Reebok Runtone shoes also feature DMX shear cushioning to better absorb the strike force generated in when the heel is grounded for a highly comfortable ride, with the foot propelled forward from the heel to the toes in a smooth fluid motion.

 

This will allow you to open up the stride length in a natural way and it will also allow for more power when your foot hits the ground. You'll notice that a lot of athletes break down at the end of their races. The reason why is because their leg cycle is out of sync. Just remember to keep a steady rhythm while sprinting and you should continue to keep your ankle stepping over the opposite knee.

The Reebok Runtone offers everything that the Reebok Easytone does, but allows exercise to be enjoyed at a much faster pace. Catering to the millions of runners and joggers, the Runtone is able to cope with the increased forces from a heavier heel strike, and the instabilities are redistributed around a broader base in the shoe for a more stable and secure footing.




Another important tip when it comes to your foot plant is that you must land on the balls of your feet. You shouldn't be too high on your foot and your heel should never touch the ground. Try to imagine running on hot coals while sprinting. This will keep you from spending too much time on the ground while running.
