The Evolution of Endurance Running and… : DASH Story 2014-12-13
Story content
I am an electrical engineering professor with over thirty years in the academy and as I near retirement I have been increasingly interested in my health. As such, I have taken up running and I run barefoot. This has allowed me to lose a significant amount of weight, go off hypertension medication and develop a general sense of well-being and youthfulness that I haven't had in some time. As an engineer and scientist, I have become interested in the mechanisms at play and am fascinated by the notion that evolution has played in making us animals predisposed to run and not walk. This paper has been invaluable in my personal research regarding my new avocation.
