The ultimate goals of natural running are to reduce your risk of injury and to run more efficiently. While some associate natural running with barefoot running, this running technique is actually intended to improve your form, regardless of whether you’re wearing supportive running shoes, minimalist “barefoot” running shoes, or transitional shoes that fall somewhere in between. 2, record 1, English, - transition%20shoe

L’objectif ultime de la course naturelle est de réduire le risque de blessure et de gagner en efficacité. À tort, certaines personnes associent la course naturelle avec la course pieds nus. Il faut savoir que la course naturelle est en fait une technique visant d’abord à améliorer la posture du coureur, peu importe ce qu’il a aux pieds : chaussures traditionnelles, chaussures minimalistes [ou] celles dites de transition qui se trouvent entre les deux. 1, record 1, French, - chaussure%20de%20transition

Natural running is running the way the human body was meant to run in its purest form... across a solid surface. That means running with good mechanics and an efficient gait that focuses on landing lightly on the midfoot/forefoot... and quickly lifting your foot off the ground instead of pushing off with excessive muscular force.... Tenants of natural running can be seen while running barefoot and running in lightweight or minimalist running shoes that allow your feet to develop proprioception or "feel" the ground with every step. 2, record 3, English, - natural%20running

La course naturelle, avec des chaussures minimalistes ou pieds nus, est une tendance en plein essor. De plus en plus de coureurs abandonnent l'amorti au profit d'une expérience plus naturelle, mais il est important de le faire prudemment. 1, record 3, French, - course%20naturelle
