[English Homework] Presentation about new idea

Thanks for coming to my talk. Last week, I read a book called Born to Run. In this book, the author said that in all ages, humans are the most suitable to endurance running, like 50km, 100km at the animal world.Moreover, in the past, there rarely were people who had knuckle injuries due to long time and long distance running. On the contrary, today more and more people have knuckle injuries because of wearing high technology (high-tech)shoes to long distance running. Why? You can get the answer to this interesting question later. The new idea that I will present comes from this book. The idea is Barefoot Running. 

OK, let’s talk about this idea. First, what is Barefoot Running? After that what are its advantages?Finally, how do you start Barefoot Running? And I will be pleased to answer any questions at the end of my talk.

From the name, you can know that the Barefoot Running is just running with no shoes. It is very simple for everyone. Just take off your shoes and run.

Now you might be confused. Why should we run with no shoes? From the Barefoot Running point of view, the most important change is our running style. Thereafter the changed running style will reinforce our foot muscles. When our foot muscles are strong, it will reduce our knuckles pressure and also reduce the knuckles injures, especially knees and ankles. So you will enjoy more and more running, because it will give you a healthy body and not injuries. Running is natural for humans, we were born torun. Our ancestors caught the quarries by running. Despite our top speed is less than other animals, but we can continuously run longer distance than them,especially under the hot weather. That is thanks to our sweat. For the others advantages, you can visit the hyperlink http://www.barefootrunning.fas.harvard.edu/index.html.

Finally, a few wordsabout how to take Barefoot Running. Because today our foot muscles are notstrong for barefoot running, we should wear a pair of shoes with the thin soleat the beginning. I think you will take 2 or 3 years to enhance the footmuscles. Then you could visit the hyperlink above to find more Barefoot Runningtraining tips. Enjoy barefoot running.
