Acerca de esta escucha

The romanticized notion that humans are "born to run" has buoyed the so-called running boom of the past 50 years: well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts lacing up their cushioned shoes and plodding down roads and trails in pursuit of the runner high, a trim physique, and the fountain of youth. Unfortunately, born to run is a big, fat ruse—a marketing gimmick and a gross misappropriation of evolutionary biology insights about our Homo sapiens genetic attributes for endurance. While any movement away from a sedentary-dominant lifestyle is laudable, the truth is that humans are actually born to walk, not run.

For the vast majority of enthusiasts, running—even slow-paced jogging—is far too physically, metabolically, and hormonally stressful to promote health, weight loss, or longevity. Alas, the elevated, heavily cushioned modern running shoe enables ill-adapted people to run with poor technique, increased impact trauma, and a truly embarrassing rate of chronic overuse injuries.

Born to Walk will help reshape fitness culture to reject flawed and dated "no pain, no gain" ideals, and replace them with a simple, accessible, sustainable program to increase general everyday movement, improve aerobic conditioning the right way, avoid the risks of injury and burnout associated with running, and promote a healthy, happy, energetic, long life–one step at a time.

You'll learn:

*How our genetic endurance gifts are buried under excess fat, insufficient activity, weak musculature, and dysfunctional feet

*How the running boom was enabled by the heavily cushioned shoe, which enabled poorly adapted people to run

*How elevated, cushioned shoes are the driving cause of overuse injuries

*How running does not help you lose excess body fat

*How running can promote the accumulation of health-destructive abdominal fat

*How the struggle & suffer ethos of modern running culture can promote an unhealthy obsession

*How to identify your ideal training pace using "fat max" heart rate

Isn’t this supposed to be about walking?

This is a good book about running. The dangers of it, how high endurance athletic feats aren’t healthy, and how you’re damaging your body gradually with high intensity prolonged workouts.

And by the way, walking is good. Seriously, this book is 90% about running. Walking is a mere footnote. It seems like the aim of the book is to scare you out of running, leaving walking as the only sensible alternative.

Sisson and Kearns are very smart, do their research, and deliver a compendium of information. But to say this is a book about walking is merely a marketing scheme.
