Scientifically-backed solutions to resolve your running injuries.
Forefoot running, especially at faster speeds, was found to be the best at reducing all risk factors for shin splints vs heel strike running.
Barefoot earthing has been proven over and over again to do more to clear health-harming free-radicals from the body, which directly boosts the body’s ability to defend against a variety of health problems ranging from disturbed sleep to reducing chronic inflammation, from improving depression to enhancing focus and memory retention.
The benefits of minimalist shoes are becoming more clear as the gold-standard solution to weak feet, especially arch and toe weakness.

Essentially, with more barefoot running experience, plantar fasciitis will resolve once the plantar fascia adapts to the new running condition, which it will, so don’t worry and be patient because depending on your fitness level, everyone adapts differently to barefoot running.
The hard truth is foot strike type in running matters immensely for injury prevention whereby forefoot running has been scientifically proven (references below article) to […]
