Barefoot Running Study

This is me all sciencified.  The little markers stuck all over me were reflective and read by a laser that made a 3-D skeleton of me on the computer to really see what the angles of my joints and things were while running.  The face mask measured oxygen use and the box on my chest measured heart rate and many other things.  I was given pages of numbers that I don't really understand, but she told me that they are find that barefoot running burns more fat while shod running burns more carbs, which is more efficient because carbs are easier for the body to turn into energy.
