RANKED: The world's 20 strongest militaries. Despite budget cuts and a reduction in size, the US has maintained its position as the world's strongest military, according to a report on globalization from Credit Suisse. While the US is still far and away the world's top military superpower, Russia and China are its closest rivals. Canada, however, is the weakest of the twenty countries on the list. Credit Suisse acknowledged the difficulties of determining comparative military strength in its report.
Running Form Mistake #1: Heel Striking. Heel striking is when your feet are landing in front of your hips, so your heel is hitting the ground first. Ideally, you want to land mid-foot, or on the ball of foot. Heel striking, which is fairly common among runners, can lead to injuries such as shin splints and joint pain.
Research says it might not be as dangerous as weâve been made to think. Even though 95 percent of runners instinctively strike the ground with their heels, there is a growing trend among running experts to have lifelong heel strikers convert to a more forward contact point.hile self-selecting a midfoot strike pattern is fine and is often the sign of a high-level athlete, itâs the conversion of a natural heel strike runner into a midfoot strike runner that causes trouble.
