How To Learn Perfect Running Technique Immediately

[@TeresaChristian-xh7gt]

Born To Run - the book by Christopher McDougall about the Tarahumara Indians is along the lines of these Peluga shoes. Even if you’re a lover of Hokas, which so many are - there’s a science behind barefoot or zero drop running. We aren’t all as fit as Mark and some of us really aren’t going to be switching to barefoot running. But at 62,63, post menopausal I thought I had to quit running because even in my new Brooks Ghosts or Hoka Bondi’s, I was getting back pain, ankle pain and shin splints and my big toe ached. I thought I was going to have to just start walking. Then I on a whim tried a zero drop shoe - Flux - and almost immediately- I’m running 5k’s again with no pain! I’m loving it. So now I’m going to try these Peluga’s. I’ll let you know how I like them. But I already love these running videos!

I learned how to run as a child. I ran everywhere and rarely wore shoes but I could build callouses back then and I can't now. Plus I only weighed 80 pounds then, now I weigh 200. I had callouses on my hands as thick as the ones on my feet in my teens. And I knew how to use my hands and feet without KZbin. I met a guy running barefoot on a trail I use and I said "that looks hard" and he said you get use to it, then i said I was going 30 miles and he said you wont get use to THAT. That's why humans have been wearing shoes FOR EVER. Because we can run a LONG ASS distance that the skin on our feet cannot survive. We don't have hooves or the pads that wolves have.

I have been running barefoot for 20 years. No injuries, no knee problems.

But no elite runners are running barefoot and win podiums

What a ridiculous demonstration. Who runs like that it cushioned shoes? Not anyone aware of running technique at least. If these advice where so amazing all elite runners would run barefoot and you no what - none - 0% - are...
