Second your recommendation.

I picked it up just because I'm interested in training. It was a great read.

Then I went out and ran around a track for the first time in a couple of decades. In my Vibrams. The next couple of days I waited for my knees to hurt or ankles or something. Nothing hurt.

This was really interesting because I had gone out to do some sprints in the grass, in running shoes, in the grass. For a week after that, everything hurt. But running in basically bare feet on an asphalt track, nothing hurt except my calve muscles a bit--but no joints hurt.

Maybe a coincidence, but I'm going to keep trying it.
