Not much this week ... 37 miles. I have a knot in my left lower calf that I am trying to work out before next weekend's marathon. Only ran 3 miles both Sat. &...
It was great time, fellow barefooters! To read the report, go to: http://www.barefootrunner.org I hope to post some more pics as Ken and Cathy make them...
Hey Rick, I'm running Pose -- a newbie, but I love it. Obviously, barefoot running came up, I tried it, and am almost hooked. My whole running style barefoot...
Hi Jerry, Welcome! I personally don't believe times need to get slower. Actually, my 5K and 10K times are about the same as when I was running with shoes. My...
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...
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....
Yeah, I'm going through that learning curve right now. And one of the things I'm learning is that I like running barefoot -- at least on grass and on the...
Found an interesting site this morning when I was out browsing the net, trying to find out the name of the barefoot runner who ran the Green Mountain Marathon...
To: Jim Miller, Race director; Green Mountain Marathon Jim, Congratulations in directing a marathon which has joined the growing ranks of marathons which have...
Steve, Thanks for granting permission to use the photo on my website. It can be viewed at: http://www.runningbarefoot.org/Who.shtml#RicVillarreal Note that I...
A year ago today, I started experimenting with barefoot running. Who would've thunk that it would have gone this long! Anyway, in lieu of my "barefoot running...
Short and bittersweet: Ended up running about 5.8 miles of a 10K because there was no one at the last turn to tell us that the course contained another loop ...
Edward - For the past couple of years, I have been using a Timex/Garmin GPS system when I run. It is ideal for the midwest where there aren't a lot of...
I've compiled a page of barefoot pics starting with the Boston Marathon this year ending with my 10K of last weekend. It's a memory hog, but for those who...
Not real cold, but it was 45 degrees with a cold, driving rain with windchill at 38 degrees. The first mile was a little cold. My body got used to running in...
Beautiful day here in the Heartland, temps in the 70s. Not bad for November in Kansas City. I was a couple of miles into a 7 mile run when I was crossing a...
A couple of challenging runs this week .. one weather related (coldest run of the season so far) and my run on Saturday where I slightly stubbed my toe. No big...
Speaking of shoes... Dave, My feet are small, and I don't have much need for protection here on the southern California beaches and well swept roadways and...
I am a 9.5. Unfortunately, the thought of running other than barefoot makes me shiver with dread. I will have to pass the experiment to someone else. Barefoot...
I'm a 10 1/2 and looking to run w/o shoes, not try new ones. But thanks for asking! -- Jerry On 11 Nov 2004 at 10:31, Rick Roeber wrote: I am a 9.5....
