When most people start to run, the first thing they do is walk. When you try on a pair of running shoes in a store, there's not a room for you to go running back and forth. Irene: Over the past 50 or 60 years, we have de-conditioned our feet. And now our feet need it because our feet are unable to support themselves well when you run. But I think if we had not accommodated the shoe to the runner,. We wouldn't have the musculoskeletal injuries that we have today.
Why do humans have butt cheeks? Neil deGrasse Tyson, Chuck Nice, and Gary O’Reilly learn about the biomechanics of running with professor and running specialist Dr. Irene Davis, featuring Neil’s interview with author Chris McDougall.
