What is neutral running style?

Having a neutral running style means that you have a very stable structure in your ankle joint. This is because when landing you keep the ankle joint completely straight, and thus do not make a pronation or supination movement. It is not better to have a neutral running style compared to a pronation running style or a supination running style. It is not worse either.
