National Trail Running Day

Saturday August 21st, 2010

Check out the website, let’s plan an “event” (not that all our runs aren’t “eventful”)

A softer ride for barefoot runners

Nature News has just published an article about Harvard professor Daniel Lieberman who has ditched his trainers and started running barefoot. His research shows that barefoot runners, who tend to land on their fore-foot, generate less impact shock than runners in sports shoes who land heel first. This makes barefoot running comfortable and could minimize running-related injuries. Read more
