I have been practicing this method and it is incredibly hard to maintain the correct form when you are so used to heel-toe strike method. I have found that it is incredibly useful for maintaining a specific pace for longer distances though and has helped incredibly on my posture in general.

If you really want to learn more about it I would recommend just checking out www.CrossFit.com and lurk around on the forums. The monthly newsletters have an incredible amount of information in them as well, CF has completely changed my outlook and overall level of fitness.

This sounds interesting. I think its worth giving it a go in comparison though I wonder how easy or difficult it is really to change one's mindset at my age to a new system of running.....
