9/12/11- Screaming Lungs

As most people know from coming into the gym, I'm a big fan of barefoot running and the benefits of moving away from traditional running shoes.  A great book that explains barefoot running while also telling an unbelievable story is "Born to Run: A Hidden Tribe, Superathletes, and the Greatest Race the World Has Never Seen," by Christopher McDougall.  You can find it in a number of places, including B&N and Amazon and it's a NY Times Bestseller, so check it out.

In terms of barefoot shoes, I highly recommend Vibram FiveFingers because they make many different options for barefoot runners, from the complete minimalist shoe to barefoot hybrids.  There's a picture below displaying their black/camo minimalist shoe.  Here's a link to their website:  http://vibramfivefingers.com/index.htm

1. 1 mile run
