📚 "Running for Health. Energy, Strength, Joy!" - Mikhail Sovetov
Mikhail Sovetov — a naturopathic doctor on 100% raw foodism, author of the "School of Health" and the books "Eating According to the Laws of Nature", "Three Keys to Health", "Health Diary". But there is another facet of his experience that not everyone knows about: he is an experienced amateur runner, participant in numerous marathons and half-marathons.
The result of this experience is the book "Running for Health. Energy, Strength, Joy!", published in 2020. This book presents the method of running "on the toes" (forefoot), which heals the body.
Why does this happen from a scientific point of view? How does this affect health? What is the specific action plan so that it brings pleasure? All this is analyzed in this book by an experienced doctor with his favorite activity — running.
🏃 Running "on the toes" (forefoot)
The author of the book uses a healing running technique. With this style, the runner lands on the front part of the foot (toes), the heel either does not touch the ground or touches a moment later. This reduces the impact load on the knees and spine, since amortization occurs due to the work of the foot and calf muscles, not through the impact of the heel on the ground. At the same time the heel and joints remain intact, and the body, like a spring, receives additional healing shaking, which favorably affects health.
🎯 For whom this book is
The author addresses two categories of readers at once: beginners and prepared runners. This is not a manifesto "everyone run" but a practical guide with answers to specific questions.
📋 What you will learn
- How to start running if you have never done it — from scratch, without fear and overload
- How to correctly draw up a running plan — so that there is progress and no injuries
- How to choose equipment — clothes and sneakers in which it is really comfortable
📝 Conclusion
The title speaks for itself: running is not a punishment and not a sport for records. It is a health tool, a source of energy, strength, and joy. The author, being a doctor, looks at running precisely through the prism of healing, not competitiveness.
