When I began triathlon racing in the year 2000, you could pretty much show up the morning of the race and still get in. Now, triathlon participants are growing by the thousands every season and there will be 500,000 marathon finishers in the US this year. But, despite our fitness frenzy and growing awareness about diet and nutrition, active Americans are still often stuck in a chronic weight loss struggle. So, how do you permanently exit the fat race?

A few weeks ago, I dodged a barefoot runner coming towards me in the bike lane. I was swerving to avoid a pile of broken glass but, the enthusiastic, heel-striking runner was headed right for it! Neither sustainable nor safe, he hasn’t left my mind since that day. While Christopher McDougall’s Book, Born to Run, has done much to popularize going without sneakers, there are many reasons to consider keeping yours.

The debate on running style is not a new one. But, popular media has jumped on board over the past few years and has caused more confusion than actual good advice. In fact, much of the information being reported is based on a study called “Biomechanics of Foot Strikes & Applications to Running Barefoot or in Minimal Footwear” by Daniel Lieberman, which the author himself admits has been erroneously reported in the media. In the study, Lieberman, a professor in the Department Human Evolutionary Biology at Harvard University, and his colleagues examined impact forces of different runners, both with and without shoes and looked at the differences between heel striking, mid-foot or forefoot striking.
