I definitely agree with this. My coaches advised, as did pop running
mags, running heel to toe. It seriously messed up my knees and ankles.
I eventually had to relearn how to run, retraining myself to run
naturally. I ran barefoot for a while but gave it up, too much broken
glass and thistle spines in the roadsides. Heel to toe may be OK for
some people, but not for me. Legs are springs, not wheels. But where is
the paleo-food connection in this discussion....? Well, have to add
something.

I am eating fresh raspberries these days. My vines give a few in the
late fall, the season here is so long I think they get confused and
think it is spring already. Ate ginko nuts yesterday too. Nice in the
fall, but I don't know if they are edible raw. I think so, but I fry
them until the shells pop open from the steam.
