running barefooted
By DGH | March 4, 2010
I haven’t been on the go lately, after giving birth few months ago. Thus, I’d sometimes wish I could have the time to be up on my feet and do some jogging or running around the park. Anyway, I’ve just read an article about running and it discussed that running without any shoes on, i.e. barefooted, is actually much better for the feet. Yup! The article says most runners with shoes land on their heels, this results to the weight not evenly distributed across the foot, thus causing stress injuries.
This reminds me of my sporty cousin who usually participates in marathons. I might as well convince her to be different and try running barefooted instead of wearing her trusted shoes. She usually rides her motorbike to work. Hmmm…can she run her way barefooted to work as well? LOL. Maybe, that would take her mind off from car insurance expenses or getting stuck in the traffic.
