A Passion for Running

In this post and this post on his blog, and in this article on CRN, my long time blogging friend Jon has shared his newfound liberation from the world of high-heeled, cushioned running shoes.

I think I’m even more excited to hear about Jon’s success than I was about my own.

What Jon is learning is that running in a minimalist shoe can result in better foot+leg strength, better mechanics and - most important - less injury.

Jon’s history is much like mine - YEARS of running with horrible shin splints that didn’t go away until I made the switch to a minimalist shoe and spent time learning proper running form.

Welcome to the club, Jon! I’m ecstatic about your success and newfound pain-free running!

P.S. Jon - ever heard of Arthur Lydiard?
