heel striking wastes energy and can lead to injury. landing on the ball of your foot can also cause injury. A mid-foot strike is best. If you are concerned about heel striking consider getting some minimalist shoes eg. brooks pureflow. These shoes are impossible to heel strike in. However the structure of toe area make them a little awkward to walk in.
Distance can be measured on google earth or on mapmyrun.com. If you are really keen consider getting a GPS watch, it will measure distance automatically but isn't as accurate as measuring it on the web.
anyway just now went for a 7.64k made-up-as-i-went-along jog around the local housing subdivision, took 44:35 (5:50/km) Its normally a desolate sort of place, but the fog and drizzle accentuated the surrounding hills and forests.
