Its sort of funny how off topic this is getting. I'm against mandatory helmet laws but I always wear my helmet. I guess I'm a racer though. The one argument I...
Ya, you could think of that fly paper being a bit above the ground, ken bobs writing talk about this too. And here they've talked about how if you can walk/run...
I have a stress fracture in my 2nd metatarsal of my right foot. I thought it was tendonitis, but I was wrong. I should of known right away that it was a stress...
Hey, I feel for ya, really. Pardon the lack of depth here, I'm not trying to put you off I'm just in a rush! Thing is, when we run, we ought to land on the...
<<< I've been willing to accept the four minute penalty for a first violation and eight minutes for a second violation (bike and run courses, respectively) but...
Barefoot Jon - Many thanks for this roundup of the Ironman situation! I'm in awe of your two barefoot ironmans. And, I hung on your every word because my ...
Hey, I'm almost two years into this and still learning so much. Some of us have a harder time than others do. I would recommend really studying form and doing...
Thanks for the info! Ive been relaxing and it seems to be getting better. rather then jumping into it to quickly, I find that running in a grassy field...
Dude I can feel with you. Being unable to run and having to wait to heal is massive pain by itself. One of the things that was difficult for me to do was stop...
Hi all, I just drove the St. George Marathon course. I am getting jazzed about running my first marathon and doing it barefoot. I know it is still a few months...
A few years ago when I knew I was going to barefoot run this marathon here in Missouri that had 3 miles of gravel, I would go and walk this mile long gravel...
yeah, i second the good advice here. one of the most important things you might do whilst transitioning to barefoot is to simply leave you watch / gps /...
All was well and the Bruising went away in time. I ended up taking 4th in the Clydesdale division (men -39 over 200lbs) I have really learned a lot from this...
Hi, run571, I'm not as experienced a runner as some in the group, but for that very reason I'd like to believe I can give you some useful thoughts, for once...
I started running barefoot last August and was injured from mid December to the beginning of March so I know how you feel. Basically my left ankle and foot...
Barefoot running is essentially like starting over. So 25 years of running experience, basically down the drain. Is it really worth it? I know, are feet are...
I heel-striked for 25 year and, not having the benefit of Runningbarefoot, did my first marathons landing simultaneously ball/heel thinking that my high arch...
I agree with you that "too much, too soon" is the most common cause of injury. The running research bears this out and has been unable to find strong...
Hello and congratulations! You have been very effectively "taught" by your foot how NOT to run! Barefoot running education may be free, but not without costs,...
I have found that when I first start out on a run, I am looking out for every little pebble, stick and stone in the immediate vicinity of my feet - to avoid...
Ryan, thanks for the info! Although I must say, it all seems so complicated. I must say that before I started reading about running form and foot- strike, I...
I've run with both Kenbob and Ryan in different races and both have quiet footfalls and hardly look like they are running hard at all (as they move way, way...
Ryan, I've tried your suggestion on "running in place", but I've found that running in place is a lot harder than regular running. Maybe I'm doing something...
Hi All, Just wanted to see if anyone was interested in getting together and running a race or 2 this summer. **July 4th in Swampscott, MA 9AM **July 8th in...
Ryan and someone else I think posted about the breakfast salads. I don't think y'all were doing this for weight loss but are you losing weight by eating this...
I am of the breakfast salad club. I have no clue about weight, but I've lost a pants size. I mix things up. Sometimes it's spinach, broccoli, red onion, red...
Victoria -- I read on one popular barefoot walking website that it would take 1 to 2 weeks to condition the feet for barefoot walking. I'm 1 1/2 months into...
I agree a person(s) made this rule and it makes me angry & I have tried to give them hell. Unfortunately Ironman is a huge business. When I signed up I was...
