OK, so I am just experimenting with barefoot running and have done all of my miles at the beach. (On the hard sand at the edge of the water) I can certainly...
IMHO, beach running is a great place to learn what your feet can do without shoes. And, I agree with you that it will probably not prepare one for concrete or...
My feet continue to toughen, and Rick's suggestion to back off to 5 consecutive days of 2.5 mile runs was a great idea for this week. My feet are definitely...
I think that running on sand will prepare your feet in terms of toughening your soles. But on hard surfaces, you will quickly learn not to land on your heel....
Let's see in the last couple of days, we have had three new members join the discussion board: Water_Dog66, You have already made a contribution to the board...
Okay, so I've tacked on half-mile (two laps of the track) of barefoot running at the end of two of my runs this week. I did this once on Tuesday and once last...
Hi Bethany. I would recommend using FiveFingers in your transition to barefoot running. I have only been running barefoot 6 weeks or so and my transition has...
Or, for those who can't afford or don't want to pay $70 for the FF (which are a very good transition shoe, as Doug states) then get some $5 or $10 water shoes...
It's been a while, probably a year or more, since I ran a wood chip trail that I used to run a lot. It is located on the business campus where I work....
Somehow, the old TV themes to "Bonanza" or "Rawhide" go through my mind just mentioning the word "Roundup". (Now, I'm really aging myself back to the age of...

Thanks Rick - I've been eyeing a 50 miler ever since running marathons became an annual challenge to keep fit for skiing back in 1977 and I figured doing 26.2...

Hey all, I'm new to this group. New to barefoot running, too. All my life I've done almost everything barefoot....including my job, which I don't have to...
Welcome Cris! A bit more information would be helpful. Are you new to running or have you run extensively (or somewhere in between)? Previously have your ...
Welcome Cris! I started running barefoot because my knees DID hurt and I wanted to learn proper form. I had what I would consider chronic ITBS. Once I ran a...
Thanks for the links and feedback, guys. I started reading more about barefoot running and I'm getting less nervous to try it again. I think the first time I...
So, I Googled Chris Kelly Photography. You must like dog and cat photography along with your other obvious skills as a wedding photographer amongst others. ...
Yessireee, Rick, I do like those dogs and cats (and any other animal). You found my old site.....I don't do weddings anymore, I stick to working for animal...
I ran 15 miles barefoot this week and they were very eventful miles. The first run of 5 miles was in a 7'11" pace. The last mile I was limited by feet. So...
Yup, running high school tracks are like dessert. You can't have a constant diet of them, but they sure are nice from time to time. You reminded me of the...
Wow, I am impressed and inspired by reading the barefoot miles you put in. Very motivating. I tried again (second time) running barefoot today...around a...
I really don't think there is a better place to work on barefoot running form than on a track. You can focus pretty much totally on form since the surface is...
It was actually a bit cooler this week in the Heartland, yet the temps were still in the high 90s! This has been a summer to remember for everybody. I'm...
Running is definitely getting easier Rick. I got in an unexpected extra 5 miles barefoot on Saturday, which upped my weekly barefoot total to 20 miles. I...
