The destructive "struggle and suffer" mentality sold by the fitness industry is leading to astonishing injury rates among runners while sabotaging our fat-burning capabilities. Former professional triathlete Brad Kearns challenges conventional exercise wisdom, revealing how the running boom created by cushioned shoes and cultural programming has led countless well-intentioned fitness enthusiasts into patterns of chronic injury, hormonal disruption, and sugar addiction. In his book, Born to Walk, he shares the "fat max heart rate" concept, which explains why gentler movement patterns—particularly walking—may better serve our health and longevity goals than the punishing cardio routines we've been programmed to believe are necessary! Buckle up!
