I loved this video and added to my blog. Very good side-by-side
evaluation of a runner in shoes and without shoes.

Wonderful demonstration.

I notice in the video he said that running barefoot forces you to run with proper technique. Unfortunately his technique was not very good. In fact, I'm...

I'm curious what about Rick's technique you say can be improved? 13,000 miles almost speaks for itself. But maybe there's room for improvement. Ryan...

Yes, I have to agree here. Rick's running obviously works perfectly fine for him. There can be no dispute. Each person must find there own way. If it works,...

Fist of all, he lands on his heal. Also, he kicks out rather than lifting his feet straight up. He has a lot of wasted motion. Basically, he runs like he is...

It may work for him, but that does not mean it is good, or that it can not be improved. I thought that I was running fine for a long time (34 years). What I...

I agree with you absolutely. However, my original point was that he says running barefoot forces you to run with good technique, and that he clearly does not...

It is very hard to judge someone's form running in snow, in my humble opinion. It is different than running on asphalt or concrete. (Plus, the exhuberance of...
