Maybe thisarticle just caught me on a good day, but I really enjoyed reading it. It took a conventional wisdom that I had always had and showed me that I could be wrong, without being preachy or annoyingly superior.
Although the lead was a question I think this worked particularly well in this article. If instead of asking a question Tara Pope had started off with a fact, the readers may have jumped to the conclusion that she is off her rocker and either didn't do enough research, didn't do the right research, or is showing a very skewed way of thinking. This first impression could have ruined the effect of the rest of the article. The rest of the article provided a lot of different perspectives, including an evolutionary perspective to help demonstrate the idea that long-distance running should not cause humans the pain it does.
