Best example of barefoot running form in a video?

[chuckcwall]

Howdy, everyone! I am teaching an anatomy & physiology class, and we are coming up on the skeletal & muscular systems. After covering the muscles/bones of the leg and foot, I would love to show my class a video of good barefoot running form. The segue would be something like, "Now that we've learned all those muscles in the foot, let's see what they can do..."

What video would you show to a classroom that demonstrates barefoot running? I'm going for the "graceful, effortless" look. Thanks in advance!

I agree about Dr. Mark C.'s video, but think that the MovNat is also very instructive in a different mode. They're short - play both!

It's not as motivating and beautiful as the other recommended videos but it makes it easy to explain. For inspiration my favorites are the first 2 recommended in this thread.

I had the pleasure to run with Mark Cucuzzella and Erwan from Movat at the NYC Barefoot run. They had no clue who I was but I caught up to their pack to join in for a bit, it was fun!



When I first started running barefoot these are the first two videos I ever saw and I still like them to this day.
