“When my runners train

barefoot, they run faster and

suffer fewer injuries.”

Vin Lananna,

head-coach, Stanford

University

Antelopes could sprint

But hunters ran long distances, finally spearing the fatigued animals

Shod for half a century…In 1964

Since then

no one looked

Introduced Running Shoes

Ball Strike Vs Heel Strike - Lieberman

University eulogised barefoot

His name was Pheidippedes

…The father of all marathon races

2500 years ago, he ran from Marathon to Athens…

Zola Budd

Others followed later…Abebe Bikila

Bruce Tulloh

Barefoot Ken

Tegla Loroupe

Finally, Barefoot Ted galvanised the scene

“Born to Run" author McDougall concluded :

“Running shoes may be the most destructive force to ever hit the human foot."
