Running is part of human nature. Our bodies are built for running, and training for long-distance running results in multiple health benefits. In this course we will explore how our bodies are built for running and look at evidence supporting barefoot running. We will also explore the potential physiological and psychological benefits that result from running and how to train to achieve those benefits.
