Re: [barefootrick] Awfully tempting ....

Hey Rick,

I'm an old f___ myself -- 64 and counting -- and have no running
history, but find I'm pretty speedy in barefeet, and run "better" Pose
that way, and just got wondering about that and so looked at your
times and then began to ask whether the conditions of bf running
are such that one naturally slows down at the longer distances. So
-- you don't think so. Well, good, one more "barrier" to making the
shift goes away. :)

Ken Saxton at www.runningbarefoot.org is a good example of someone who hasn't slowed down running barefoot longer distances. You may have been to his site. He...

As Rick said, there is a learning curve to go through when you start running barefoot or pose, or Chi-Running, or whatever. My first barefoot marathon was 11...

Forgot to mention a good article in Runner's World, I think Oct 2004, about the Pose method. The author did interview me and is now a barefoot runner as well....
