I had a ball talking with Shane Benzies the author of the book; 'The lost art of running'. Shane is a researcher and movement coach. Over the past 8 years he has spent time researching indigenous running communities the world over. After spending time in Kenya and Ethiopia and analysing some of the best runners in the world he was in awe of how graceful they ran. Why do so many runners of the Western world not run with this grace and ease? He soon had a lightbulb moment and came up with the term; 'elastic runner'. Listen to this episode and I'm sure you will leave the chat with a greater appreciation of the ins and outs of running technique.
