Designed to run...

In January, I read Born to Run which for a lot of folks like me has drawn attention to the way we've been taught--or not taught--to run.  Here's a video talking about barefoot running.  Heads up:  the video talks about the amazing ability to outrun quadrupeds that we somehow had the ability to evolve.  Words still out on what we did until we developed this ability, but I digress... 



I've been running some on the treadmill (mind you, I live in Calgary and don't want to try this in the snow) and can tell a big difference.  Shin splints don't come so easily anymore and I'd recommend you give it a try.  [Disclaimer:  I'm not a doctor nor do I play one on tv.]
