Adding a comment to see if someone replies. If these are anything like the movement of an exercise elliptical, for me it was the same foot positions.
On the exercise elliptical, I found strength was best with the balls of my feet on the ends of the foot pedal, my heel hanging over the end of the pedal.
I am not the runner that you are, but when I do run, it is in a Barefoot style, heels never striking the road.
anyway, just seeing if anyone replies to your post...
--Having spent waaayyyy too much time on eclipical machines (Planet fitness) - agree with above. tippy toes on the edge of the foot pedal is best workout for me.
-- On the Eclipse, I have played around with foot positions - I think I am going faster with the feet forward, using more leg muscles, as opposed to lower legs as I found with the feet at the back. but small adjustments with the feet really matter for me and I continue to experiment! Enjoy!
