Interviews

Dan Lieberman on the science of running

Vibram posted three portions of an interview with Harvard professor Dan Lieberman.  I've also posted the profile of Lieberman and his work from when it appeared in Nature.  All short and worth watching.  

And personally, Professor Lieberman is a great guy.  I had the opportunity to hear him speak at the Harvard Club last fall.  Awesome presentation -- can't wait for his book.  He's done all sorts of cool research on how different parts of the human body give us clues as to what types of movements we're adapted to.  Like we have a muscle in our necks to keep our head from bouncing around that running animals tend to have.  He's currently in Kenya, or as he put it to me, "in the land of barefoot runners".  

 1. On a heel strike vs. a forefoot strike.

2. On "compliance", or your body's give. 

3. On the modern running shoe.

4. And the slightly longer profile of Dan Lieberman and his work done by Nature.
