To this day, even with high-tech running shoes, 50% of all runners get injured every year.

At any point in time, like right now, 25% of all people who identify as runners are injured.

I mean, that's a higher rate than the NFL.

This is not what you want to see in some ideal form of exercise.

So the running shoe industry has promoted bad form by creating

thicker and thicker and more and more cushioning in these shoes and doing so because a lot

of people go to their podiatrist and they go, doc, my feet hurt, what do I do? And the podiatrist

or the orthopedics will say, well, you need thicker shoes.

It isn't about being perfect.

It's about being better.
