“There's this kind of war on running - people keep telling you you'll g...” — Christopher McDougall Quote

There's this kind of war on running - people keep telling you you'll get hurt, get injured, that you need orthotics, that you need go to a special running store before you try it. There's this totally misconceived notion that it's hard to do, and it's not.

We don't woo our wives with clubs. We don't leave old folks on ice floes. And maybe the time has come to quit diving into rip tides to save people we don't know. We've outgrown a lot of survival-of-the-fittest strategies, and risking our lives for strangers might be one of them.

We've created an unnatural form of running. It's not just the shoes, but we run on artificial surfaces - straight ahead, hard and steady - instead of speeding up and slowing down, reacting to the terrain with changes of pace and rhythm.

I have the idea that running shoes are based on a kind of cult idea - that our feet are flawed and we need shoes to correct those flaws. The shoe companies are in the business of selling shoes. But there's no evidence from running shoe manufacturers that they're right. There's no scientific data that running shoes reduce injury.

People probably don't realise, but you often train harder when you're injured than when you're fit.

An injured Zlatan is a pretty serious thing for any team.

You never know what could happen. Someone could get injured early in the game, so everyone knows they have to be ready. Anyone can come on at any stage in the game and make the difference.

Before I got injured, football was very easy, I didn't have to work out.

This is the fight game, where somebody could get seriously injured, and that's what I'm looking to do when I get in there against Conor McGregor.
