About this listen
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
PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

At 23, Andrew Forsthoefel headed out the back door of his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania, with a backpack, an audio recorder, his copies of Whitman and Rilke, and a sign that read "Walking to Listen". He had just graduated from Middlebury College and was ready to begin his adult life, but he didn't know how. So he decided to take a cross-country quest for guidance, one where everyone he met would be his guide. In the year that followed, he faced an Appalachian winter and a Mojave summer. He met beasts inside: fear, loneliness, doubt.

From walking's evolutionary origins, traced back millions of years to life forms on the ocean floor, to new findings from cutting-edge research, he reveals how the brain and nervous system give us the ability to balance, weave through a crowded city, and run our "inner GPS" system.

Story
> Walking is not as well known as Thoreau's other works Walden, The Maine Woods, and Civil Disobedience. But it is a good place to start exploring his writing because it was his last book, in 1862, published by the Atlantic Monthly shortly after his death. It is less well known because it is general, as opposed to singular, in focus. It is his summing up of his thoughts on life: One should saunter through life and take notice; one need not go far.

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.
Isn’t this supposed to be about walking?
