One of the Tribe

On a few recommendations i decided to sink some time into this book.... and Man is it Great!!! Not that i consider myself a runner (still haven't cracked 20km ... ever!!) but i do enjoy heading out for a run in the off season... and so far this year i haven't been able to last for longer than 20min without having serious knee pain.... partly because i'm old, and partly i'm thinking (in accordance with this book) that i have the wrong shoes and form.... so i got our for a snowy run today on the way to and from the gym, running in the new Ultrarunner, minimalistic style... short steps, no heel strike, easy and relaxed, lean forward... sort of along the line of POSE running.... might have to be my next read.... i don't plan on joining the Tarahumarah for a 100-miler any time soon, but i was able to hand 2x30min running with little knee pain.... hmmmmm.... maybe Nike WAS wrong all those years ago.... Read the book... you'll love it...
