On the good foot - Improving foot function and strength for greater speed
Our feet, as we have indicated in previous posts, are a complex structure. There are 29 muscles and 26 bones in each and over 100 ligaments and 19 tendons. The Achilles tendon, for example, acts very much like a spring which deforms and recoils on every impact from walking to sprinting. Our arch does a very similar job and works in conjunction with the toes to also absorb, produce and transfer power.

Toe-ing the Line - Improving Foot Strength for Optimised Antepes Training
Greater Achilles stiffness can boost sprint speed in particular. As can a stiff, high, yet flexible arch. And so too can the tendons that control our toes – those that open and close them rather like those in our hands which ball and then open our fingers when making a fist.
Super-spikes improve sprint performance. How do Muscle Runners measure up against them?
