Thrust enhancers, roll bars, microchips...the $20 billion running - shoe industry wants us to believe that the latest technologies will cushion every stride. Yet in this extract from his controversial new book, Christopher McDougall claims that injury rates for runners are actually on the rise, that everything we've been told about running shoes is wrong - and that it might even be better to go barefoot...Thrust enhancers, roll bars, microchips...the $20 billion running - shoe industry... more

This is the first in a series to help people be more functionally fit for life.
By MAdbALANCE.COM; Dr. Naeem Akram
- Because your time is now
I believe running is a key element to how we as humans have evolved. Running correctly is a skill to be developed that will help you become more functionally fit for many sports from Parkor to Snowboarding to Golf.
Putting on the latest in technologically cushioned shoes will not help you in the long term. Your feet are designed to be used, not clumped up and landing on your heel as many shoe manufactures would have you believe.
Land on the balls of your feet with the impact point directly under your pelvis. Do not hit the ground in front of your body since this effectively puts your brakes on, reducing efficiency and sending unnecessary shock waves through your body. Proper form that leverages gravity and uses muscle elasticity is something that will take many months to develop but you'll use it for life and will not suffer from injuries. Running correctly is like flying - it's a lot of fun!

Three severed left feet have washed up in Canada aboard running shoes.
"According to a spokesman for the RCMP, the chance of two right feet washing up in size 12 running shoes were 'a million to one'. That was before the next foot arrived. What is unbelievable is the fact that the feet had running shoes on."
Clearly there is something foul afoot. (Ouch! Sorry, that hurt.)
"Where or from whom these shoes came from [sic] are anyone’s guess. They could be from anywhere and easily be from 1000 miles away. Japan is not even out of the question. The authorities have begun DNA testing to try and determine what part of the world the shoes came from and perhaps can link them to a missing person."Three severed left feet have washed up in Canada aboard running shoes.... more
