More and more joggers and long distance runners are switching to Natural Running and re-learning “forefoot running”. Firm and cushioned soles cause many runners to lose intuitive access to this natural running form, which can result in injury and pain. Back pain and tension can be avoided by Natural Running and running on barefoot shoes or sandals.

Natural running is practiced completely barefoot, as well as with minimalist barefoot shoes or sandals. Natural running is a healthy and joyful alternative to conventional jogging. In Natural Running, the focus is less on performance improvement and competition. A contemplative basic attitude with mindfulness are the basis to train endurance, flexibility, physical and mental strength.
