Barefoot running: how to run light and free by getting in touch with the earth: summary, description and annotation

We offer to read an annotation, description, summary or preface (depends on what the author of the book "Barefoot running: how to run light and free by getting in touch with the earth" wrote himself). If you haven't found the necessary information about the book — write in the comments, we will try to find it.

How could something we have for freeour bare feetbe better for running than $150 shoes The truth is that running in shoes is high-impact, unstable, and inflexible. Shoes promote a heel-centric ground strike, which weakens your feet, knees, and hips, and leads to common running injuries. In contrast, barefoot running is low-impact, forefoot-centric, stable, and beneficial to your body. It encourages proper form and strengthens your feet in miraculous ways. When you run in shoes, you not only risk developing poor form, but you also hinder the natural relationship with the ground that running facilitates. Barefoot running restores the delightful sensory and spiritual connections to the earth that you were meant to experience. Barefoot Running offers the only step-by-step direction runners need at any age to overcome injuries, run faster than ever, and rediscover the pure joy of running. Once you tear off your shoes and learn to dance with nature, youll tread lightly and freely, hearing only the earths symphony and feeling only the dirt beneath your feet. Hit the ground running with revolutionary techniques for starting out slowly, choosing minimalist footwear, navigating rough weather and rugged terrain, and building your feet into living shoes. From the Trade Paperback edition.

Special Greeting from Barefoot Ted Ive often called Christopher McDougalls book - photo 1
Special Greeting from
Barefoot Ted

Ive often called Christopher McDougalls book Born to Run my quirky Ph.D. thesis I didnt have to write. He was able to take everything I had learned about the fundamental human capacity of running, joyfully and minimally, and turn it into an epic book that has changed the thinking of a generation.

Michael Sandlers book continues that theme.

Thousands upon thousands of folks have contacted me asking how they too can begin their barefoot journey. My solution has been to conduct introductory clinics to barefoot running and to share my stories on my blog Barefoot Teds Adventures. Many encourage me to write a how-to book about barefoot running.

Now I dont have to write that book either. Here it is.

Michael Sandler has applied his passion and insights into barefoot running in a way no one else has so far. You are holding in your hands a book as exhaustive and accurate of a description of barefoot running as you could ever hope for.

I am proud of this books message and its attention to detail and quality of writing. I dare to say that this book will become a best-seller and inform millions about the benefits of barefoot runningand not just the physical benefits. Michael touches on the deeper, spiritual aspects of running and our deep connection with the earth, our ancestors, and all the other co-inhabitants on this planet. You will be inspired.

Once again the Universe has been generous to me and you and found someone who could thoughtfully and exhaustively write about a topic that will ultimately change the lives of all who read it and practice what it teaches.

You are a very lucky person. You were born with amazing capacities that are waiting reawakening. Taking off your shoes is a first big step.

Praise for Barefoot Running

Dear Readers, enjoy the insights this book has to offer to help you to remember to run in an easy, light, and smooth way, with or without footwear of your choice. It is about form, joy, and the love of running. Run free!

Micah True, Caballo Blanco de la Sierra Madre

Barefoot Running is the best book on the market on how to begin and excel at barefoot running. I highly recommend it.

Michael Nirenberg, podiatric physician and surgeon,
and author of Americas Podiatrist Blog

Barefoot Running arrives on the crest of a major paradigm shift in the world of running as, once again, we come to realize that nature is indeed best. Michael Sandlers exhaustive treatment of the topic celebrates the amazing evolutionary success that is the human foot and serves as a comprehensive users guide for its rehabilitation and proper maintenance.

Dr. Joseph Froncioni, MDCM, FRCS(C)

As Michael Sandler argues compellingly, there are lots of good neurological reasons to re-attach yourself to the holy ground that you walk on!

If predictability and reliability in the contact of your feet to the ground was a good thing, human evolution would have provided us with hooves! Reconnecting with the irregular earth for atleast a short period of time every day is definitely good for both your brain AND body!

Taking off those shoes, walking on a natural landscape where each step can provide a surprise, and feeling the earth between your toes for at least a short time every day is a very goodidea, for brain and body alike!

Any runner wanting to run with better form will like this book.

Im often asked where to start. Now I can say, start here.

Marc Richard Silberman, MD
Director, New Jersey Sports Medicine and Performance Center

Michael and Jessica have provided a guide to help you avoid and minimize the problems associated with awakening your feet and your body, by embracing your bare feet. The question is nolonger, should we be barefoot? It is, how often, and how much? Barefoot Running is the best current synopsis of the evidence of the benefits of aware feet, andthe most logical guide to attaining them.

Ray McClanahan, DPM, BS Ed, creator of Correct Toes,
andfounder of Northwest Foot & Ankle Clinic

For all the hi-tech innovations of the running shoe industry in the past decades, the truth is finally catching on. Nature has provided us with a feat of engineering so magnificent that itcould never be replicated by sciencea pair of feet. In their natural state they are perfectly suited to running, and yet for many runners, particularly in the Western world, they have been devalued, underutilized, misused, and abused. The definitive users manual Barefoot Running has finally been written. Sell your shoes, buy the book, and let your feet take you on breathtaking adventures previously undreamed of.

Lorraine Mueller, four-time Olympian, Marathon Bronze Medalist,
and author of On the Wings of Mercury

Michael Sandlers experience and research gives any runner vital information on how to run healthier for decades, whether you choose to wear shoes or not. His principles and teachingon how the foot and body all work in proper anatomic function and how to correct dysfunctions is vitally important for running health and performance. I have been applying these principles for 10 years now, have not had injury, and still continue to run marathons in under 2:35 at age 43. Like Michael, I was told not to run 10 years ago after operations on my feet. You too can be your own coach armed with the right knowledge.

Mark Cucuzzella, MD, Associate Professor of Family Medicine,
West Virginia University School of Medicine
Race Director, Freedoms Run and owner of Two Rivers Treads

The research is out and the evidence is clear that barefoot running puts less stress and strain on your joints than running in footwear. Michael Sandlers book, Barefoot Running, will teach you step-by-step how to transition from shod running back to natural running safely and effectively.
