When Dr. Sidy Diallo did his first marathon in 2010 in Chicago, he had to walk the last 23 km (14 miles) because of a patellar tendonitis. Five years later, he rightfully switched to barefoot running.
The 2010 Chicago Marathon
Dr. Sidy Diallo ran his first marathon in 2010 in Chicago at 55, which means it’s never too late to reconnect with the vital human activity to stay fit and healthy, unless it’s already too late because of the loss of physical or cognitive abilities. But Dr. Diallo had to walk the last 23 km (14 miles) of the race because of a knee tendonitis. Five years later, he switched to barefoot running to avoid pain and injury, which proved very effective.
