An interesting article (click here) from the writer of the well known barefoot running book ‘Born to Run’ (which I’m yet to read incidentally) on the current state of barefoot/minimal running and drills & programs that can be used to transition from traditional shoes. A video showing the 100-up drill can be found here
Chris references Pete Larson (Evolutionary Biologist at Saint Anselm College, New Hampshire) who writes the highly informative barefoot/minimal running blog, RunBlogger, which is a gold mine of information! Pete posted his comments in response to the myriad of comments left on the NYT article, which presents more of a measured middle ground approach to the traditional vs barefoot debate.
