Summary

Featured in the bestselling book Born to Run, coach and performance guru Eric Orton has spent a lifetime learning and thinking about running and about the limitless possibilities of the human body and mind. In The Cool Impossible, Orton shares his wealth of knowledge in an inspiring, step-by-step guide that will open up a new world of achievement for athletes of all levels of ability and experience. Covering the topics of natural movement and barefoot running, Orton draws on his own experiences as an athlete and coach-including his time with the amazing Tarahumara Indian runners of Mexico-to correct the many misinterpretations about barefoot running and show how fitness, awareness, and commitment can help build the perfect running body and enable readers to achieve their goals, and push past them. With a program focused on safe barefoot/minimalist style running form, strength development, and cardiovascular training, Orton will help readers reach "the cool impossible"-the belief that the greatest reward from running is the opportunity to do more. Intended for runners both aspiring and expert, The Cool Impossibleis a book that runners will want to keep long after they've mastered the drills and workouts, a book to dip back into again and again for inspiration and reinforcement. Like a favorite running companion, The Cool Impossiblewill be there with you, stride for stride and mile for mile, helping you go farther than you ever could have on your own.
