Hi Jerry, I've had a couple of days to think about what you said about treadmilling. For me, I don't think that is the case. Actually, something I didn't...
Well, Rick, my real point wasn't about the treadmill -- it was that I really doubted you were suddenly starting to show your age -- and what you said in this...

This was a good week of running. Not only did I run a few more miles than a normal week, but I managed to keep my pace between an 8 and 9 minute pace. I know...

A good week of running (70 miles). Managed another semi-long run yesterday (15 miler) and a couple of 10ers earlier in the week. These should provide a topping...
Hi Rick, Just been looking through your photos from 2004 - they are great, nice to see the USA barefooters having fun! Maybe it's an optical illusion, and of...
Hi Lucy, Yes, I have wondered the same thing when I have looked at some of those pics ... like I was hitting heel first. Especially the one with just my feet...
I have been recently looking at videos of Pose runners. It always looks as if they are about to land on their heels, but they don't. I think it is simply a...
Jerry ... Any of these Pose runners running barefoot in their videos? If you know of any that can be downloaded from the web, I would appreciate a link. ...
Rick, I've never seen a barefoot Pose video. I may be making one myself in a few months, but I'm not yet a good enough Poser to justify anyone watching me! --...
Six days until Cowtown Marathon. Got in 59 miles this week which is a bit of a step down from last week. However, still managed another 15 miler this week....
Jerry Griffin - Maybe you could offer your advice to this fellow regarding differences between Pose and barefooting. Not sure if you are a member of Ken's...
Have you ever noticed how an animal runs? Of course you have, but what I'm referring to is where their power for speed and distance comes from. It comes from...
Here is some interesting insight from Pele' regarding running and dribbling a soccer ball using a low center of gravity and your haunches: "If you squat down...
This Saturday, won't have to worry about remembering to bring my leather ankle strap for my timing chip at the Ft. Worth Cowtown Marathon. Apparently, the chip...
Hi to All I am a UK runner, and I am hoping to move over to barefoot running in the next week or two (One final shod half marathon next weekend, I'm afraid). ...
Karl, As you make this exciting switch, take a look at the Pose Method of Running. It may help you accomplish your goal of staying injury- free. Best of luck!...
Welcome Karl, It sounds like you are switching to barefoot running for a lot of the same reasons I did. First, my knees were plagued with injuries because of...
Ran the Ft. Worth Cowtown Marathon this weekend. What a great course and to the most part ... barefoot-friendly. There were a few areas through Trinity Park...
Rick, tell us a little more about "a few areas ... that were a bit rough..." Describe it more specifically, if you will: gravel? sticks and stones? messed...

Good points Jerrry. First of all, I ran the entire course as it was laid out, so I didn't run any grass or shoulders -- I ran the entire way on either asphlat...
About 50 miles this week. Anybody else want to tell us about your week of running? No matter how little or how much or what you might be planning for the next...
13 barefoot miles this week, my first week, all on hard rubber track. Not ready for the asphalt yet -- maybe in a week or two! On 28 Feb 2005 at 1:39, Barefoot...
Thanks Rick, I will try to keep you posted with my progress. Since I have decided to take this step I have found it really difficult to motivate myself for the...
