I have just discovered the Newton shoes and the natural running yesterday. It just makes sense. Obviously some people also do:

I have to lift my foot off the ground and not push it from the ground. Will have to bear this in mind in my Friday jogging practice. Thanks!

So that’s the term, natural running. Been doing it in my trainings/practice without ever knowing what to call it

Well put and best describes what Newton is all about – like you said = DEFINED! Here’s so much talk, hype, and copy cats but only one true natural form running shoe – NEWTONS!

how about in that sentence: … unlearn old habits, awaken dormant muscles, and learn proper technique.

I thought of that on my run home after running stadiums in an effort to awaken my dormant muscles

in your sentence regarding unlearning old habits, I would add : strengthen or awaken or something more poetic… unused muscles

otherwise quite timely especially with the open letter from Brooks that I saw today.

The link to this letter is posted on the barefoot forum on runnersworld.com and birthdayshoes.com

Running is one of those sports that has a low barrier to entry. Put on a pair of shoes (or don’t) and head out onto the roads/trails/hills/mountains/grass… etc. and run. Not much else to it.

Seeing all these different terms come up is a little bit too much for me. It reminds me of arguments I had back in the days when I thought climbing was going to be my sport. Bouldering vs. Routes vs. Trad vs. Aid. I just liked the climbing part, not arguing about which way is better.

My question isn’t what should we call ourselves, it’s when are we going to stop labeling what we’re doing, and just run?
