A Barefoot Running Debate: BORN TO RUN


The description for the video:

In this episode of BOOKD, find out what a podiatrist, an urban caveman, a professor of evolutionary biology, a world record setting masters runner, and author Christopher McDougall have to say about BORN TO RUN and the barefoot running debate.

Dr. Michael Perlstein is a podiatrist who owns his own medical practice and goes by the name of Brooklyn Foot Doc. To learn more about him, visit his website: http://www.brooklynfootdoc.com/

John Durant has been taking a paleo approach to health for the past several years. He is a founder of Barefoot Runners NYC and writes about being an urban caveman on his own blog: http://www.hunter-gatherer.com/

Dr. Daniel Lieberman is a professor of evolutionary biology at Harvard University. Not only is he interviewed in the book, his studies greatly contribute to the idea that humans are born to run.

Kathy Martin is a real estate agent who, in her 40s, discovered a gift for running. She has set nine American and two world records in her age group.

Christopher McDougall is a journalist and author best known for his book, BORN TO RUN. To learn more about him, his book and the barefoot running debate, visit www.chrismcdougall.com

Tried to jam my feet into some VFFs at REI this afternoon. Now I know how Cinderella's stepsisters felt. But I didn't cut off any parts of my feet to make them fit. I need a personal cordwainer who specializes in minimalist footwarer. A job for the post-carbon era? VFFs and I were not meant to be, apparently. There are other Asians who can wear VFFs, but is the shoe more suitable for white people than Asians? The thing about VFFs is that they are at least wide enough to accomodate my feet. I do not think that is true of the other minimalist shoes that are currently available.

I also tried on some Arc'teryx jackets. Don't bother if you have a gut. My midsection was ok, but the sleeves fit poorly or there were other problems. Now will there be post-carbon tailors making fleeces and other such jackets?

I am reminded of the movie Safe House; there's a scene involving a street demonstration by blacks and whites. I suppose there may still be some liberal whites in South Africa who believe in multiracial harmony, especially among the youth. Once they decided to share power was the black-on-white violence inevitable? How do you protect yourself against a numerically superior group in a "democracy"? If the whites couldn't partition a separate state for themselves, they should have just left (as many are doing now).

Dr. Fleming: Getting Real Again

Rush is right about the basic point though, and this is a subject I have been meditating on for years. Justice demands that the guilty, not the innocent pay, and the guilty parties to the national debt are the congressmen and officials of both parties who took bribes and pandered to the lobbyists and ward heelers. When elected legislators and bureaucrats go into debt, it is their fault as much as it is the fault of the board of directors and managers of a business. Let the responsible parties be held accountable. If every member of Congress and White House flunkey who got us into this mess were held responsible, we’d have about 500 people to pay back the trillions of debt they–not we–owe.
