They say that imitation is the highest form of flattery. I have been so inspired how Ken Saxton has united barefooters to discuss barefooting topics, that I...
from my marathon on Labor Day. On Tuesday, I ran a slow 3 miles around the neighborhood. On Wednesday, 3 miles on the wood chip trail here at work. Thursday, 5...
Hi Rick, I stumbled on your website and have a question or 2 for you. I noticed when you first started running barefoot, from your weekly reports, you started...
Thanks for posting, John, and welcome! Yes, I started running on wood chips because I really didn't know any better! I had read about Ken Saxton running the...
was a just a 5 mile barefoot run, mostly on concrete with some asphalt and a small section of trail through some woods. I seem to have created a callous on my...
Got to run 2 runs of 2 miles each. It rained all weekend so I got to run barefoot on the golf course next to my apartments. It felt really good splashing...
Welcome Rhea! We are just getting started, and will probably grow slow for awhile. Right now, it is a small, intimate community. So, don't hesitate to post. We...

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...

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....
