GETTING STARTED WITH NATURAL RUNNING Natural running is more than a current trend. It’s become a big part of many elite runners’ training regimes. So what are the benefits and how do you effectively make it a part of your training? Natural running means using specially designed shoes that give you a more direct ground feeling. The shoes cut away only the essentials and let your feet move naturally. It’s a different style of running that feels unrestricted, flexible and smooth.
WHY NATURAL RUNNING? Thousands of road runners feel the benefit of natural running, and use natural running shoes as a frequent alternative to their “first” running shoes. •

Land on your mid-foot to evenly distribute your weight and use your body’s own natural cushioning
