... As a long-time barefoot athlete yet relativly new member of this group I've been thrilled to find out that all these Heart Rate Monitor problems, training...
Yesterday was a busy comment day (for me: I don't get many comments), so I thought I'd share them. From an older (70s/80s) gentleman in the supermarket:...
Hey there, While many of you may be familiar with this quote from Danny Dreyer's "Chi Running," I couldn't help but share with those of you that aren't: "Once...
I think a lot of the hostility against bare feet is because many people have grown up with someone else yelling these same commands at them. Of course they...

Anyone planning to run the Capital Cities Marathon, Olympia, Washington? (http://www.capitalcitymarathon.org) The expected/average temparature is 52-65. It's...
Mark - yup, you sure found my photo okay in the 2006 Capital City Marathon. How diddyou find it? I was up on some grassy lawns around mile 18 to avoid one...
That is tempting! Olympia is only about 2 hours north of me. However, I won't be able to make it. My religious preferences omit Sunday races for me, which...
The low-key Green River Marathon on Saturday, June 3 goes from Kent to Alki Beach along 17 miles of bike path, then about three miles through the Duwamish...
I have some old ankle issues, from some serious sprains back when I wore shoes, many, many years ago. Whenever my ankle begins to cause problems, I have found...
I have had a pain on the outside part of the plantar surface, only my right foot. I went to the chiro for some ART but that didn't remove the pain. I have had...
... Interesting. I've tried to fix it by standing on my balls lately. (No, I'm not a contortionist! I have a set of softballs that I used to overcome plantar...
Oddly enough, because roadway canting was seeming to cause some hip discomfort, I had abandoned doing the Capital City Marathon some years ago. However, have...
If there are more takers for a Saturday run (to accomodate Ryan) we could run as a pack... That's why I brought it up -- to see if we could recruit more...
Based on my most recent experiences, it may or may not be completely form based. It's inflammation. As I noted in earlier longer posts, my (little) toes were...
Hi everybody. However I hate to write someting about my injuries instead of any barefoot achivement, I have to do it again. Approximately 1.5 month ago I felt...
Hi, Just a brief observation about running at a HR somewhat below my aerobic threshold during my LSD training. When running at this intensity, it is...
I agree Yanni -- being able to nose breathe is a signature of the lower intensity, and maybe it does tell us something. Let me add to your observation, if I...
I couldn't run without nosebreathing as this is a key to avoiding asthma for me. Nosebreathing helps in two ways: it conditions the air going in, but it also...
I suggest you see a doctor. I don't know what's wrong, and I'm not sure you do either. This is the time that a physician can be most helpful. Mark ... ...
Thank you. The interesting thing is that it feels easier than 34 used to... Thanks to all the fellow travelers, as well as running theorists like Romanov Tim...
you might try massaging trigger points: In the adductor hallucis and flexor hallucis brevis in the foot. Sit down, cross your leg over your knee, and massage...
Thank you Mark for your advice. I will go to a pysician immediately, but I don't think they either help me. In my short history with pysian & doctors...
Hi, I had some slight pains in my metatarsals when I first started barefoot running. Prior to that, I had run with shoes for 18 months. I had these pains...
you should probably see a doctor...back when I was getting started in barefoot running, I accidentally did too much too soon, and my metatarsal was hurting...
I've also found that going just above my aerobic threshold as per my HRM is almost exactly the point where nose breathing becomes difficult. It's great, as it...
Elaine, I'll just lay it on the line here. When running, I just don't wipe my nose. Blowing your nose is very counter-productive as it decreases CO2 levels and...
I second that. Whenever the temps are below 50 my nose starts running in the beginning of the run. But about 20 - 30 minutes into the run it stops running. I...
i believe mucus comes from poor diet (what one eats, drinks, thinks, breathes) and running is an awesome way to expel alot of it through the nasals and lungs. ...
