20. Should You Run Barefoot?
Manage episode 264272505 series 2623833
Since Chris McDougall's seminal book "Born to Run" was published in 2009, a lot of runners have been wondering: "Should I go barefoot?"
The answer is: it depends.
This week on the Endure Stronger podcast, we discuss all things barefoot running, including:
- What the barefoot movement gets right about our natural ability to run
- How going barefoot can lead to a reclamation of our natural running mechanics, and also:
- How minimising our shoewear can wake up our feet, reducing injuries and create all-round stronger runners.
We also discuss:
- How returning to ancestral running isn't as seamless in a modern, pavement-filled environment
- What running trainers can do for your running if your movement quality is sound, and
- What a lot of runners get wrong (and wind up MORE injured) when they try going barefoot.
Our take? We think it's best to walk around in minimal shoes most of the time, and running in them some of the time.
What's yours? Listen and find out.
P.S:We're taking a brief hiatus after this episode for a holiday in mid-June. We'll be back very soon!
