foot stride Explanation: I know "foot stride" is not strictly equal to "déroulé du pied". There is a leg aspect in the stride. However, I believe this is what is meant in the text. An alternative would be "foot strike", but it is too restricted to the first point of contact. Also, I would replace "The entire ball of the foot" with "The entire sole of the foot". The ball is sometimes restricted to the fleshy part of the forefoot. And this is really not what good running form is. The best strike is on the mid-sole.

the way the foot rolls forward Explanation: The verb 'roll' seems to be what is used to describe how the weight is transferred when walking. From the internet (fascinating stuff!): All of this intricate architecture comes into play every time we take a step. In a normal, healthy gait, the heel hits the ground first. The calcaneus and a layer of fatty tissue underneath it absorb some of the impact. As the foot rolls forward on its outside edge, the intrinsic muscles of the sole of the foot give way a little and a band of tissue along the bottom of the foot, called the plantar fascia, stretches out. Then the weight moves to the ball of the foot and over the joints formed by the metatarsals and the first, or proximal, phalanges. Finally, we get leverage by pushing off on our big toes, while the Achilles' tendon lifts |
