A few weeks ago I mentioned that I was reading the book, "Born to Run". It may be the best book I've ever read. A large portion of the book discusses running injuries. The author believes that most common injuries are causes by running shoes. If running shoes protect our feet so much that running improperly does not hurt our feet, it becomes comfortable to run in a way that is harmful to our hips, feet and knees. The answer is simple, RUN BAREFOOT. Barefoot running is supposed to strengthen our feet and force us to run with proper technique. The Ironman is 20 days away. As soon as its over I'm going to start running in Vibram Five Fingers, shown below.
