Product Description:
Athletes in every sport except running devote enormous attention to perfecting even minute details of the movements they will be required to produce in competition. Running coaches just tell their athletes to run longer and harder.Runners, and their coaches, have basically ignored technique for years, assuming that their natural stride will give them efficiency and injury resistance. We have found that this simply is not the case. For the past decade, African runners have dominated distance running at its highest levels. Research on what makes these runners faster consistently demonstrates normal VO2 Max and lactate threshold levels for elite runners. Their height, weight, and limb-length ratios all fall into the normal category. Clearly and consistently, what sets the great African runners apart is that they are more efficient than their competitors, running faster without expending more energy. Experts in running economy agree that running barefoot through childhood contributes sig

- BEWARE - Causes plantars faciitis!!!
I give this DVD 1 star because Zero is not an option.I have been a runner for 15 years running an average of 70miles per week.

Within 2 weeks of trying this running method I developed severe plantars faciitis in both feet.I have had it for 2 months now despite returning to my previous running form.The podiatrist has informed me that running on your forefoot is absolutly not for any distance running.He said it strains ...

I got this DVD because of all the good reviews, and I am glad I did. My very first run after watching this DVD waslike night and day. And I thought-- because I've read similar books-- that I had pretty good form as it was. Seeing proper technique on video has really made a difference, and I now realize that I was over striding even though I was already striking with the mid part of my foot. Running has become so easy now that I've started doing it twice a day. I have no hamstring or quad fatigue. My obliques ... Read More

- Mostly excellent--but downhill advice is wrong
You don't have to be an elite runner to learn to run like the elite runners! All runners, especially those who are just starting on a new running goal, would benefit from this video.
I bought this DVD 3 years ago, when I first started running barefoot, and the ideas in this DVD are based on barefoot running techniques. Almost all of the advice in this video is spot-on, and the vast majority of runners would benefit from using this DVD to improve their running form.

Rating: - Evolution Running
Evolution Running is a must for every runner who either wants to improve their running form and thus their times and who also would enjoy running injury free. This DVD shows a very simplified approach to running. Believe me and also this video, shorter strides and proper foot strike will make you a faster and more efficient runner. I view this DVD often to check on my running form. Since purchasing this video a few weeks ago, I have lowered my running times!
