How To Run: DOs & DON'Ts

Evolutionary biology professor Daniel Lieberman, whose studies are the scientific backbone for Chris McDougall's BORN TO RUN, gives five pointers on how he thinks you can run long distances better and injury-free.

Lieberman believes the human body is more capable of running long distances than any other species on Earth (i.e. humans are born to run). A barefoot runner himself, he supports the benefits of running shoeless, so long as you learn how to run correctly.

If you are making noise you are running wrong... OR you are running in heavy boots on a hard surface =)

Midfoot/flatfoot is landing on the outer edges of your foot then naturally letting the rest of the foot land completely flat. It should only be flat for a split second so you don't lose the natural spring up from your calf muscles.

Thank you for this

Can this information help with sprinting also, like if you are running a race?
