As a runner, I consistently suffer the “typical” pains in my knee, the arch of my foot, and my achilles tendon. I have tried pronation- fixing shoes for my knees, arch-supporting orthotics, and heel-cushioned shoes for my achilles. These superfluous attempts at eliminating pain only created more problems. Could these very things - cushioned, bulky shoes - designed to maximize running performance be hampering our running and causing excessive injuries? Many runners, professional and ametuer, have arrived at this conclusion and have begun running barefoot. Many believe that clunky, padded shoes make runners strike on the heel, which sends a massive shockwave of force up the leg and is absorbed by the knee and hip joints, which causes injury. Barefoot runners are more inclined to strike on the ball of the foot, which creates rotational energy of the foot and sends much less shock up the leg. Shoes…
Earlier, insoles or orthotics used to be hard plastic inserts placed inside the shoe to cup the heel and support the arch. However, as they were not flexible, they did not relieve the pressure causing pain. Nowadays, insoles are designed from the perspective of providing maximum comfort and pain relief. One of the well-known brands offering quality insoles is Spenco. The Spenco insoles provide stability and cushioning that facilitate correct foot alignment, flexibility, and pressure relief. These insoles provide your feet with extra support so as to help your feet perform comfortably and naturally.…

Running for sport and recreation are perhaps as unique as the enthusiasts who first roused the market. Today, that market (running shoes) is changing. While the 21st century has propelled us into an “age of hyper-engineered performance gear and space-age wicking fabrics;” barefoot running has reinvented the marketplace, while simultaneously inspiring the new generation (Sprinkle 2004).…

The forming of a high-performance and cohesive team is a delicate process that when done properly can reap great results. According to the text Tools for Teams, “effective teams go through three basic phases: formation, development, and renewal.”(Thompson, Aranda &, Robbins, 2000, p. 56) Each phase can prevent great challenges for each individual member of the team. It is an even greater challenge when team members are very diverse due to different personality traits, and differences in skills and abilities, as well as values and attitudes. Adding extra burden is strain brought on by geographical differences. These very challenges can be used as assets, and help create a very successful team. Let us see how this can be done.…
