How Running Makes Us Human

Why do we run? When Vybarr Cregan-Reid set out to answer this question, he began a journey into the science and psychobiology of the human body which—he says—is born to run. "We’ve been runners for probably about 2.3 million years." In this episode of The Soul of Life we talk about Cregan-Reid’s book, Footnotes: How Running Makes us Human, and a passion for running that took him to the world’s most advanced running laboratories and research centers to learn why natural running—running barefoot—is being embraced by running enthusiasts as the solution to foot, leg, and knee injuries that some scientists attribute to modern running shoes. Cregan-Reid says your body knows more about running than you ever will and our discussion is equally for those who say they can’t run or hate to run as much as it’s for running enthusiasts.
