Saw this video talking about how running shoes people usually wear (I included) are actually not that good for running. I'm not a runner, I'd love to be, but I still thought this was interesting so I just thought I'd share it with everyone!!

    Thanks for the link. I started running barefoot because it hurt to run in shoes. It doesn't hurt to run without them. Too bad I spent all that $$$ on running shoes before I figured it out. :\

    That guy isn't necessarily correct about landing on the ball of your foot instead of the heel. A mid-foot strike is better unless you're sprinting.
