By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
On Labor Day (in the United States), I turned to the prehistoric physical activity that ensured the survival of humans for three million years: long-distance running and walking. Indeed, after completing my 183rd barefoot marathon, I walked 8 km. So I ended up doing an ultramarathon (50 km)—a magnificent journey back to our roots under the blue skies of Maspalomas, in the south of Gran Canaria, which enjoys blue skies almost all year round.
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
