Summary

Barefoot running has garnered lots of attention due to the mega-bestseller Born to Run while top athletic companies like Nike and Adidas are declaring barefoot running the next big thing. However, barefoot running involves more than simply taking off your shoes and hitting the track and this guide teaches runners how to train their feet and body to run barefoot properly and in a way that will dramatically reduce injuries. The Complete Book of Barefoot Runningseparates the facts from the hype covering the latest research and running techniques behind this key trend. Written by noted running journalist and barefooter Roy Wallack this guide outlines proper techniques for running barefoot properly and incorporating the practice into their running regimen for a better stride, longer endurance, and fewer injuries.
