What are some good books about running?

If that's the case, the book would be well suited for you.

I read the book years ago and since then I have never owned a pair of running shoes.

I run in converse or vans, really any canvas shoe.

When I run, all of my weight lands on the front part of my foot, rather than heel.

There is a purpose this person's faux legs are designed this way.

I was decently overweight a few years ago, but got rid of all that extra fat through long sessions of running with that technique.

I'm sure if I had ran all those miles with running shoes and on my heels, my legs would be fucked.

Running is one of my favorite things to do to this day and I would attribute this book to aiding me in that realization.

You can find a better synopsis of the book elsewhere, but it's essentially about a guy looking to get an edge on his running technique.

He finds out about this "lost" tribe of unreal marathon runners and befriends them which leads to an interesting story.

I haven't read the book, but are running shoes not designed to compensate, to some extent, for the surface you run on, if it's hard asphalt or concrete? It's not natural to run on that shit. If you run on dirt or sand, that's a different deal entirely, you could do it barefoot, ideally. But a city environment? I'm not sure that's healthy. I don't think the human body is designed to run on hard rock all the time. I have no idea what the science is on this, it just seems intuitive. Am I wrong?

>>	Anonymous Tue Jul 31 05:30:21 2018 No.11545123 >>11544885 Its alright, kinda drones on. Kind of like jogging in fact...

You should give your body some time for relief.

I know it can feel tedious to jog but your body needs time to adjust to your new behavior.

When I first started running as a schlub, I could only run for a bit before my legs were on fire.

Now I can run 10 miles relatively quickly without any burning sensation.

Of course my legs ache the next morning, but I'll stretch and focus on my upper body until I'm good to go again.

>>11545070
You are correct, except it's not natural to run in running shoes either. Arguably worse

Running shoes have changed. If you buy a pair of ASICs you will get a quality running shoe.

Otherwise, companies give people what they want. People want excessively comfortable "running" shoes that absolutely work against how our feet are designed.

I choose canvas shoes because I want to be close to the ground. The people in "Born to Run" ran barefoot. As soon as they were giving running shoes, they began to get feet injuries which was something that had never been common for them.

I don't know what kind of environment you live around, but I run on hiking trails. I don't run on concrete

Prefontaine was the powerful German aryan runner.

These days, Jewish sport and television executives would have you believe that "Kenyans" are the superior runners when in fact they are simply an android psy-op.

All hail the ubermensch running hero. Black men suck white penis.
