Running Form and why I changed

The Once and Future way to Run


Expensive shoes: A waste of money?

Late last year I read Born to Run - Christopher McDougall.  Not only was it an amazing story line but the theory and information presented by Christopher was incredibly well done.   I would strongly recommend reading the book.  But I wanted to share these two articles that are directly related to the book and have some fantastic info.

I started out a heel striker and last last year after reading I changed my running style to a mid/fore foot strike.  It improved my speed, distance, and endurance immediately.  After doing so I ran my first sub 30 min 5k.

I do not run barefoot but I might try it this summer.
