He has worked with some of the best runners and triathletes in the history of endurance sports and just speaking to him will make you a better runner." -- Craig Alexander, three-time Ironman(r) World Champion "One of the virtues of Natural Running is the education on running biomechanics that it provides.

I highly recommend the book as a guide if you are looking to transition to barefoot-style running form and want to keep your shoes." -- Run Blogger "Natural Running is an instruction manual for how to give up your heel-striking habit. If Born to Run was the battle cry for running naturally, consider Abshire's book the field manual. In addition to detailed explanations, the book is filled with multiple photos and diagrams that make the concepts of natural running form very easy to understand." -- Running and Rambling "Natural Running deserves a place on your bookshelf if you are someone willing to try something new, need a refresher course on proper running biomechanics, or simply want to know how to become a more efficient runner. And as a runner, you just might feel reborn." -- Zero Drop "The first few chapters [of Natural Running] give a great primer on the evolution of running, the development of shoes, the marketing machine, and what technology didn't deliver. If you read Born to Run, these sections cover the same material, but in a quicker, more organized fashion. What jumped out in the book, for me, is the degree to which Danny has focused on individual biomechanics and how minor adjustments can have major impact on performance." -- TriEssential.com "Danny Abshire did not create the natural running movement. But he deserves a lot of the credit for it. As the co-founder of Newton Running shoes, he's been at the forefront - or forestep - of the movement to get runners back to their natural, original stride." -- The Fitness Buff Show
