If it wasn't for this book, would barefoot/minimalist running be where it is now? What are your thoughts? Personally, I am not against it but not for it either. It great that it get's people get's people out to exercise. It's just not for me. About the book, I thought it was well pretty entertaining. Credible? Who knows.
What I thought the message the book was relaying in the two pics below
Evil Empire (Big running shoe companies)
Rebel Alliance (Barefoot/Minimalist advocates)
On another note, back when I was a little kid, we used to go help run the aid stations for the Kilauea Volcano Wilderness Marathon back in the 90's. As you can see in the link, you run through lava fields, forest and roads. I'll never forget the day I saw a guy running barefoot. Talk about a serious BAMF. This isn't him but I found a site with pics of the course.
Lastly, I apologize if this post makes no sense. I was up way to late playing Battlefield 3 which came out yesterday.
