About this listen
Two million years ago, Africa: A skinny, long-limbed creature who walks on two legs, can’t sprint, and has no weapons turns away from his under-nourished friends, and runs down a much stronger antelope. Dinner. Over succeeding generations, this creature evolves into one of the best distance runners on the planet: the human being. Yet in the age of modernity, we find ourselves unable to run without more than half of us suffering injury. This book looks at the injury epidemic in running and what the barefoot running movement believes are the causes of injury. It analyzes the best-seller Born to Run, how human evolution has shaped our bodies, how modernity has warped those same bodies, and what barefoot running both got right and wrong. It concludes by giving practical advice to runners from the writer, a 2012 Olympic Trials qualifier in the marathon.

Great to run too
Informative and fun!
Running barefoot doesn’t make you ethical superior or protected from injury… so what’s all the hype about?

Barefoot hater?
A waste of time. This sounds like made by someone who failed to transition to barefoot or just a hater of barefoot.

Born to run review
This guy must just have lost some money to Christopher Mcdougall. This is just a review of the Born to Run book. No new information.

1h36 of my life I'll never get back. Terrible
Not worth your time to listen to. Zero information provided. Painful to listen to. Author sounds like he is paid by nike or some other 4cm foam under heal 'running shoe' company. Cherry picking points from Born to Run and twisting its words. shameful. only finished to ensure this review is accurate so others don't have to put themselves through hearing this rubbish.
