The Tarahumara

This is a really good video I found on the Tarahumara.  The barefoot running tribe of super athletes in the Copper Canyons of Mexico.  They were made famous in the book Born to Run by Christopher McDougal.  They can run over 400 miles, in 48 hours.  This video is from the Discovery Channel and is on YouTube.

I have actually experienced the benefits of minimalist/barefoot running and highly recommend it to anyone who has had problems with injuries from running.  Just watch the video, it's pretty interesting.
