In "Born to Run," McDougall sets out to learn why he is constantly getting injured as a runner and discovers a group of Indians in Mexico who can run incredible distances without shoes or sandals. The author concludes that running barefoot is the key to staying uninjured, and that virtually anyone can run marathon distances or more. Reading Nike Free Run Women UK this book, it's hard not to conclude that the only thing standing between you and a successful showing at Leadville, a 100-mile race in the mountains of Colorado, is the wrong pair of shoes. And it's not surprising that barefoot running has trended way up since the book's publication in 2009.
A major issue with actually running barefoot is that in most places, running around without shoes is a recipe for glass in your foot, or worse. Fortunately, people's desire to run barefoot did not go unnoticed by the market, and barefoot or minimalist running shoes, such as Vibram FiveFingers and Nike's Free, have abounded. Marketing materials for these shoes imply health benefits, including stronger foot and leg muscles and fewer running injuries. (Vibram, however, mentions on its website that the shoes might not be appropriate for over-pronators. Runners over-pronate when their feet roll nike free run 5.0 mens excessively inward, and they may benefit from a more supportive shoe.)
To give sdfa1q a sense of the magnitudes: The study finds a rate of five moderate or severe repetitive injuries per 10,000 miles among front-foot strikers and 8.7 per 10,000 miles among rear-foot strikers. In other words, if you run 5 miles a day every day, you're predicted to suffer 0.9 injuries per year if you're a front-foot striker and 1.6 injuries if you're a rear-foot striker.I found this paper useful and somewhat compelling, although the study is small and randomization data would be more useful. It also is worth noting that the research is partially funded by Vibram, although the authors said the funding sources didn't have any role in the research design or their analysis.And so there is very little evidence either way, although I'd say that if you are runni nike free 3 uk ng with whichever type of shoe and are happy with it, there is no reason to switch. On the other hand, if you're experiencing an injury associated with the type of shoe you use, then you might consider switching.On the all-important question of what to do if you are new to running and have to pick, I'd ultimately lean slightly toward the minimalist option. Unless, of course, you do your running on glass shards.
