Abstract
Running is one of man's greatest natural abilities and has been essential to the survival of the human race. An individual's ability to run longer, faster, uphill, or downhill has been advantageous in war and conflict, escaping danger, hunting for food, and as in the first marathon - carrying messages. Running first took place over a multitude of terrains - mountains, rivers, forests, and deserts, and did not involve any specialist equipment - there were no tarmac roads or asphalt tracks, and many individuals ran barefoot.
