    20. Should You Run Barefoot?

    Since Chris McDougall's seminal book "Born to Run" was published in 2009, a lot of runners have been wondering: "Should I go barefoot?"⁣ ⁣  The answer is: it depends. ⁣ ⁣  This week on the Endure Stronger podcast, we discuss all things barefoot running, including:⁣ ⁣ - What the barefoot movement gets right about our natural ability to run⁣ ⁣  - How going barefoot can lead to a reclamation of our natural running mechanics, and also:⁣ ⁣  - How minimising our shoewear can wake up our feet, reducing injuries and create all-round stronger runners.⁣ ⁣  We also discuss:⁣ ⁣  - How returning to ancestral running isn't as seamless in a modern, pavement-filled environment⁣ ⁣  - What running trainers can do for your running if your movement quality is sound, and⁣ ⁣  - What a lot of runners get wrong (and wind up MORE injured) when they try going barefoot.⁣ ⁣  Our take? We think it's best to walk around in minimal shoes most of the time, and running in them some of the time. ⁣ ⁣  What's yours? Listen and find out.⁣ ⁣  P.S:We're taking a brief hiatus after this episode for a holiday in mid-June. We'll be back very soon!
