		<description><![CDATA[Minimalist running shoes &#8211; or &#8220;barefoot&#8221; shoes &#8211; are all the rage right now. You can&#8217;t go anywhere without seeing runners in Vibram FiveFingers. But should you run in them all the time? I think running exclusively in minimalist shoes isn&#8217;t ideal. They can help you develop lower leg and foot strength and reinforce a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The good folks at barefoot-running.us sent me a copy of The Complete Idiot&#8217;s Guide to Barefoot Running by Dr. Craig Richards and Thomas Hollowell to review here on Strength Running and I must say&#8230; I am pleasantly surprised. I&#8217;m usually skeptical of these books and consider them too basic and not very thorough. I was wrong [...]]]></description>

To cap off this week&#8217;s focus on minimalism, I recorded a video looking at my own minimalist running shoes and the casual shoes I wear.

		<description><![CDATA[Since Christopher McDougall&#8217;s Born to Run, the running community has embraced minimalism and barefoot running. It&#8217;s not a fad or a passing trend &#8211; it&#8217;s here to stay. And for good reason: wearing less shoe can help you refine your running form, improve your efficiency, reduce the risk of injury, and make running more interactive. [...]]]></description>

There are countless options out there, from bulky motion-control shoes to neutral trainers and finally, barefoot. How do you know what’s right for you?

		<description><![CDATA[Running is one of the most popular sports in the world because of its simplicity.  Lace up a pair of shoes (and even that&#8217;s not necessary) and you can run out your front door for a great workout.  You don&#8217;t need equipment, a pool, a field, or gear. Now that&#8217;s minimalist running; it&#8217;s one of [...]]]></description>

Questioning our need for bulky motion control trainers is a central theme of his book.  McDougall gives this topic a [...]]]></description>
