b'Professor Daniel Leiberman\\u2019s (and his team) paper \\u201cFoot strike patterns and collision forces in habitually barefoot versus shod runners\\u201d looks into how and why human beings can and did run comfortably without modern running shoes.\\xa0 In it, he proves that experienced, habitual barefoot runners tend to avoid landing on our heels and land with a forefoot or midfoot strike.\\xa0 \\n\\xa0\\nMost of their research looks into the mechanics of different kinds of foot strikes.\\xa0 He shows that most forefoot and some midfoot strikes, when running barefoot, do not cause sudden, momentary and major force impacts which occur when you land on your heel barefoot.\\n\\xa0\\nIn a previous episode of Phedippidations, I talked about how Professors Lieberman and Dennis Bramble have shown us that homo sapiens have evolved, and thus are born to run\\u2026and with this study \\u201cFoot strike patterns and collision forces in habitually barefoot versus shod runners\\u201d Professor Lieberman and his team have shown us that we should seriously reconsider the way that we run, with or without minimal running shoes.\\xa0 It turns out that we\\u2019ve had the proper biomechanics and shock absorbers with us all along\\u2026we\\u2019re not only born to run; but we\\u2019re born to run well!\\n\\xa0\\nAt the end of this episode I talk about why I didn\\u2019t produce an episode last week, what I\\u2019ve been up to lately, some \\u201csad\\u201d news about Stephen Walker and changes in this show that are long over due.\\n\\xa0\\nShow Links:\\n\\n\\n\\n\\xa0\\u201cMove Your Feet\\u201d by the Dogman Joe'
