"Scott Douglas' book on the minimalist running movement is a must for any runner looking to go down that avenue. Scott clearly informs the reader with the reasoning behind running more freely. He also does a great job of breaking it down into step-by-step instructions, allowing your body to adapt to this new style of running." --SHALANE FLANAGAN, three-time Olympian, Olympic bronze medalist, and US record holder for 10,000 meters "What makes Scott Douglas so good is that he doesn't have an agenda to push--besides helping more people run more miles. This is a terrific, fair, and thoughtful book, with everything you need to know about minimalist shoes. Read it and run." --NICHOLAS THOMPSON, editor, newyorker.com, and 2:39 marathoner "Scott Douglas's book is an eminently sensible, practical, and nonfaddish guide to the 'minimalist' fad in the running world. As a longtime minimalist runner myself, I found a number of valuable tips about the best use to make of these shoes--and, more important, the most useful ways to think about running and fitness as lifelong pursuits. Anyone interested in running will learn from this book." --JAMES FALLOWS, national correspondent for The Atlantic and 3:02 marathoner
