We get used to setting a new normal for ourselves that is so comfortable, we move further away from what our bodies were meant to do (10:30) Ken describes his transition to barefoot running (15:00) There are difficulties to it that people need help getting used to, but Ken loves it. Ken has logged approximately 12,000 miles running barefoot! (22:30) He used to wear orthotics but his feet have changed due to barefoot running. Our feet aren't meant to wear shoes with heels or run in shoes with too much cushion. They swap stories about certain popular processed foods and how our brains adjust to them (or not).
