    It was more of a how humans evolved from walking on all fours to standing on two, explaining the biomechanics of running and what that meant for the evolution of the skeleton.

    The presenter ran on a threadmill barefoot and, that jammy fecker, she had a natural forefoot strike.

    Programme also showed how much work your backside is required to do by attaching sensors to her rear, aswell as explaining how our upperbody evolved in order to maintain balance while running at speed.

    Very interesting. It wasn’t solely about running.

    The professor who did the analysis on the treadmil with her is the same guy who runs to work barefoot i am sure.
