Why do I stumble when I run?

However, if you’re falling while running on a relatively even path or sidewalk, it could be possible that your foot strike, stride or even balance are the culprits.

Your legs get slower but can’t transfer that force to the upper body due to weakness or simply the mass of the upper-body is too large to respond. In those moments the momentum of the upper body topples you and you fall.

Can you fall too hard or too fast for someone?

It can be difficult to avoid falling too hard or too fast for someone, especially if you’re new to dating or have been out of the game for a while. It’s easy to get swept away with the new person you’re seeing— and it’s a completely natural instinct— but it can be good to slow things down.
