yes, forefoot running is the "natural" way if you would do without shoes but be careful. if your body is not used to it you will get injured quite easily as your calves and achilles tendons have to do massive work and it gets worse the heavier you are.
these elite runners weight even less than road cyclists so a neutral mid foot running is not bad to start with. don't want to come across patronizing but went through a string of injuries caused by changing to a more "fashionable" forefoot running style too quickly.
