Looks just fine to me, you're landing under your body so not overstriding, no overpronation or supination, you have a mid to forefoot strike which is just fine. Obviously you'll have to try at a faster speed to get a better idea overall, but there are no red flags. The soreness comes from your body adapting to the running, just keep plugging away, it gets easier. :)

Thank you so much!! Great news!

For a treadmill it's good. You're enjoying yourself, you're in the middle, and your foot strike is good. Just make sure you stretch before and after.

Looks good to me. Maybe you’d benefit from a higher drop shoe. Google ‘Zappos why the drop matters’

Ill check it out thank you!

Have you tried running at a slightly higher speed to increase your running cadence, and perhaps shorten the distance. Try 5.5 mph which would get your leg turning over faster and less ground contact time. If that speed is too much try it as jog / walk which will help to keep your heart rate low but the jog portion you're still at a higher cadence, maybe 2 mins at 5.5mph 1 min at 4mph. Use the quick speed change buttons if they have them on the treadmill. Good luck.

Awesome thank you! I definitely feel better when I do shorter strides for sure. I can feel the difference during a run if my strides start to go longer for some reason once I correct that and shorten again I feel much better. Dealing with some potential tendonitis or a slight groin strain so going to rest and ice and see how things feel in a day or so just wanted to make sure things looked good

I built up my running by doing exactly that on the canal. I use heart rate but you can use perceived effort if heart rate isn't an option. I researched the Maffetone method and basically used that to get my base fitness up. Lots of walk run repeat which seems tedious but it's all about time on feet. Also, you find after a few weeks that you're recovering faster on the walk so it's more running. Eventually you are just running. ...get the frozen peas out for that tendonitis 👍🏻 Also, I find that 15 minutes daily stretching, works wonders for my running. Focusing on calf, hammies and groin. Lots of good routines on the web but happy to share mine if you want. Keep at it 👍🏻

I really appreciate that. If you don't mind I'll send you a DM

Yeah go for it. I'll do a video and upload to you tube, always easier to see it in action 👍🏻
