A study I have wanted to see since I tripped over the phenomenon 12-years ago in the middle east and @StephenMacGabh1 was the man to do it.Look what happens to heel pain when 20 runners with plantar fasciitis take off their shoes & run on grass #moretocome mdpi.com/1660-4601/19/23/154…

The goal of teaching should not be to help the students learn how to memorize and spit out information under academic pressure. 🧠 The purpose of teaching is to inspire the desire for learning in them and make them able to think, understand, and question.

Thank you Peter!
After ~12-yrs struggling with injury, I ran for ~3 yrs without injury. During that time I wrote lots of blogs about how 2 do it. I've now packaged them into a neat PDF booklet with sections: physical, psychological & performance. You can get it FREE here peterfrancis.blog/running-fr…

Participants reported feeling more stable when walking in minimal shoes than conventional shoes. These results show promise 4 further longitudinal studies & could represent an immediate, cost-effective strategy for fall prevention

Subtle (5-10%) increases in step rate can substantially reduce loading to the hip and knee joints during running and may prove beneficial in the prevention and treatment of common running-related injuries (Heiderscheit, 2012). Aim for 175+ steps per minute rhythm @Runningisaskill
