Natural Running

Natural running is the newest trend for competitive runners - and the oldest. Based on barefoot running techniques, natural running uses the science of biomechanics to emulate the gait of "naked" running to reduce injury while increasing speed and efficiency. Natural Running presents the science, the history, the technique, and the training plans that will show readers the whys and hows of this new athletic movement. Backed by the empirical data from kinesiological studies at MIT and Harvard and drawing on research by medical pioneers, Natural Running will show runners of any ability how they can improve their running mechanics and enjoy distance running as never before.
