I finished it on the weekend. His book is great, but it's a book about getting your body ready for running, he poses 12 mobility standards and once you pass them all you are better prepared to run. The book is short and great at breaking down exercises to fix your mobility problems which can only help your running. The book is $10 and provides a wealth of information on increasing your ability to move. Worth the read and the $10...imo.

PS. In the book he says flat, but in an interview he said "close to flat is fine to"

PPS. Altra - zero drop and they actually have room for your toes to splay
