Walking is not only a fundamental human activity, but a cornerstone for improving health and longevity as discussed in this conversation with Brad Kearns, co-author of Born to Walk: The Broken Promises of the Running Boom and How to Slow Down and Get Healthy One Step at a Time.
This new book challenges the long-held belief that we were all born to run, arguing instead that walking is a far less stressful and more beneficial form of exercise.
In this episode, Rip is also joined by his co-producer, Carrie Barrett - an avid endurance runner and triathlete.
They discuss:
- How walking is often overlooked, but is a powerful catalyst for health and longevity.
- Why many people mistakenly believe running is essential for fitness, but walking can be more beneficial.
- How the running boom has led to increased injuries, especially among recreational runners.
- Why so-called 'supershoes' are really a marketing gimmick
- A significant number of runners get injured each year, even more than NFL players.
- How improving aerobic conditioning through walking can help avoid the risks associated with running.
- How to determine your "Fat Max" heart rate level of training
- Slowing down your workouts to maximize health benefits and promote sustainable fitness
- Laying out a fitness plan that centers primarily on walking, but also includes a sprint intervals
And, as you lay out your fitness goals for 2025, we hope you're inspired to take that first step toward a healthier lifestyle—one step and one walk at a time.
