Thanks Bethany! I forgot to mention in my report that I picked up a couple of "thunder sticks" from the Best Buy aid station. They sure were fun! BR...
Question: Should I be running barefoot? Answer: If you have to ask, probably not. Reminds me of when a kid is told by his or her mother to eat all of their...
Last three Sunday runs, my barefoot mileage has been 13.5, 10, and 15 (today). All on grass. -- Jerry On 2 Oct 2005 at 19:19, Barefoot Rick wrote: Finally...
Finally, it is getting cooler around here. Went out for a barefoot run this evening with a short sleeve shirt and soccer shorts. The temps are in the low 50s...
Rick, I am delighted to see the proof that barefoot running isn't just for marathoners, that it is possible to do a race barefoot with real speed as well....
Thanks Jerry. Yep, I have more proof if you look at my running_log.xls where I keep track of my races of various distances. The proof is in the reading....
Rick, to say that I'm impressed with your barefoot times would be an understatement! -- Jerry On 8 Oct 2005 at 19:42, Barefoot Rick wrote: Thanks Jerry. Yep, I...
What: 2nd Annual Polar Barefoot Fun Run When: Noon - January 1, 2006 Where: Longview Lake, Shelter #14, Kansas City Missouri Distance: Half mile and one...
Well, I don't know about "real" speed. But I was significantly slower when anchored with running shoes, despite being much younger than when I set all of my...
Maybe I need to reduce the mileage a bit so I can run a faster marathon ;)! http://www.barefootrunner.org/05weeklymileage/weekending10-16-05.htm Still, having...
Definitely cooler this past week here in the Heartland. Quite a change from running in warm S. California last weekend. Today was probably my coldest run of...
1. Hang a string with an object such as a heavey washer, bolt, etc. directly over where your head is located when running on the treadmill. 2. Make sure the...
Still nursing a sore right heel after jamming it last Sunday. Probably fractured something, but I am still running. The soreness is isolated to a small area...
Ran the Marine Corp Marathon Sunday doing the first 20 miles in shoes and then switching to Bite sandals at mile 20. Just before mile 24 my brother took the...
A good list of lessons learned Byron! I agree especially with adjusting the footstrike. I still constantly adjust my footstrike by speeding up my cadence....
Did you happen to see our friend Barefoot Todd Byers there? His finish time was 5:10, so you may have been way out in front of him. He'll be running Las Vegas...
Rick, We really must have some sort of psychotic link between us. While video-taping for ABC World News, I demonstrated typical shod- running form (though I...
The "accident" occurred when I stopped abruptly like I was skidding to a stop, digging in my heel. Oh well, it is feeling much better now. It is spooky,...
Did not see any other barefooters there... I finished in 4:15 in the second wave. I finished with the guy dressed up as "the Sex Machine" so the announcer at...
You know, I ran a 7:58 pace today for 5.25 miles today. It was on the local high school track. I checked my logs to see when was the last time I ran in the...
John Berman, ABC reporter described in a sentence what I have known for sometime ... I am half of a footstrike short of a full load! I was somewhat impressed...
