In the age of the fitness tracker, there is constant analysis of the number of steps we take and our running habits. For running in particular, there are contrasting theories about the proper way to do it – some say land on the heel while others say land on the toes. However, walking does not seem to attract as much attention despite it being a daily activity. What are the origins of walking and is there a possibility of doing it in a better and more efficient way?

This episode of The Intersection takes a look at how and why we walk and includes an interview with Khushbir Kaur, the national record holder for race walking.
