Barefoot Running and the Boston Marathon

The publication of convincing scientific research has elevated barefoot running from the athletic fringe to a full-on fitness revolution. In these 6 minutes you'll meet barefoot runner James Webber as he runs the 2010 Boston Marathon; you'll get the science of barefoot running from celebrity evolutionary biologist Daniel Lieberman; and hear the perspectives of a podiatrist, a sneaker salesman, and more.  This segment has been rebroadcast on KUT, KUOW, WILL, and Remix Radio on Satellite Radio XM 136.

  1. The Lieberman interview is reproduced twice - an oversight. Would be great to hear the James Webber interview as well.

  4. I have been running barefoot for a year, and the pains in knees I used to have are no more.
