“If you want something bad enough, you have the power to make it happen - no matter what other people have to say, no matter how tough the odds at first appear to be. I'm not telling you this to make you feel good, I'm not telling you this because it sounds nice. I'm telling you this because I know it's true. I've lived it. And you can too.”

Richard Machowicz







“Lack of activity destroys the good condition of every human being, while movement and methodical physical exercise save & preserve it.”

A nice follow up video to the post I wrote last week about the book, Born To Run. Particularly like the end of the video where they examine the ground impact forces of barefoot running vs traditional running shoes!

Check out this excellent TED presentation given by Dr. Terry Wahls on how she used her diet to cure MS and get out of her wheelchair. A great reminder to us all of the importance of eating high quality food from good sources!

The Science & Art Of Barefoot Running

Alistair Ramsay - Wednesday, August 03, 2011
Here is a well-shot video created by Dr. Mark Cucuzzella on the science and art of barefoot running. Can't say this is something I have tried myself, but I do enjoy sprinting in my Vibram shoes. There is definitely a lot to be said for getting out of your thick-soled trainers. You wouldn't walk around with boxing gloves on your hands all your life, why do a similar thing with your feet?! Enjoy the video...



PS For more info check out Dr Mark Cucuzzella's website Two Rivers Treads

Another great video from Erwan Le Corre, founder of MovNat. I thoroughly recommend heading over to the MovNat website and delving into the philosophy behind these videos.
