Running Should Be Free, Man.

The 'tarahumara' Use Their Legs 'as Designed.' By Running At A Young Age With Minimal Footwear, They Naturally Develop The Best Biomechanical Use Of Their Legs. Cushioned Shoes Restrict Foot Movements And Allow For Over-striding. Short Strides Are Natural.

If You Don't Have Answers To Your Problems After A Four-hour Run, You Ain't Getting Them.

In 'tarahumara' Land, There Was No Crime, War Or Theft. There Was No Corruption, Obesity, Drug Addiction, Greed, Wife-beating, Child Abuse, Heart Disease, High Blood Pressure, Or Carbon Emissions. They Didn't Get Diabetes, Or Depressed, Or Even Old: 50-year-olds Outran Teenagers.

We're Constantly Told That Running Will Ruin Our Knees And Outrage Our Hearts, But For Nearly All Of Human Existence, It Was Associated With Freedom, Vitality, And Eternal Youth.
