Most of his political science colleagues had by the late 1950s turned toward more quantitative and empirical fields. It wasn’t exactly a good moment to be publishing in the field of political theory. He had written a few academic articles here and there, and an unpublished dissertation on English constitutionalism, but no one was really sure what to expect from his first book.

![]() I can speak for myself, and maybe you can relate. So why don't adults run like kids, with that same ease and joyfulness? After running for thirty years and working with thousands of runners, I'd have to say that the two biggest factors are stress and tension. If you do, I'd like you to be my teacher. There's just one problem with that suggestion: You don't have the same body today that you did back then. Many books about running tell you to just go out and run like you did as a kid. It's such a natural movement when kids do it. They had it all! One of my biggest desires as a coach is to help adults learn to run like they did as kids. Every one of them had perfect running form: a nice lean, a great stride opening up behind them, heels high in the air, relaxed arm swing and shoulders. I stopped to take a swig of water from my bottle, and as I watched the flurry of little legs, I was reminded once again why I love to watch kids run. ![]() ![]() They were busy playing tag and chasing balls and just doing what kids do best - running around.
