... Yikes! Sure glad we don't have those "barefootus horribilis" seeds here in the UK. You guys have many scarry plants across the pond. This is off topic, ...
how problematic is it? are you stopping every 30 seconds to pull one out? is it the same deal walking or running? are there obvious paths where the thorns are...
Generally only step on the thorns off trail. The worse was in Albuquerque, when Todd and I were checking out the New Mexico Marathon course the day before. I...
I am not yet ready for a long barefoot run but will consider running it in the upcoming years if it is still available. I remember jogging around Green Lake in...
i would love running an ultra barefoot!!! probably to late notice for me with school and work, but if anyone knows of a good ultra in the summer, let me know....
i wonder what the survival mode is that begets the goathead. it seems too fierce to regularly rely on animal transport to new fertile grounds. perhaps it is...
Hey Jon! That Green Lake path sounds awfully nice - a barefooter's dream come true! I can't tell from the website what the date of the race is. ? Question: If...
... I'm in Albuquerque, New Mexico. On a well traveled trail I can step on a half dozen over two miles on a bad day. Sometimes it is every thirty seconds, but...
I browsed into this page containing advice for first time marathon runners. I think it has lots of good things to consider, so I'm passing it along here. Ryan ...
I'm curious about the carbs......I know it has been said for years to eat lots of carbs for marathons, but I eat very few carbs now...mostly what I get from...
I eat low carb, (AND high fat, never make the mistake that low carbs also would mean low fat!!!) and I run 10K, 15K and 21K races and after an adaptation phase...
I do know about burning fat and I agree with you. My downfall was that I started back on sugar and my weight and cholesteral went back up. Lots of fat and...
lo-carb is almost custom made for endurance (aerobic) activities. there is no "wall" or crash. whilst the body stores only very limited amounts of glucose it...
Ditto. I've gone low-carb, too. I'm playing more squash than running these days, and like Victoria, found I was putting on weight, despite substantial and...
i find very interesting parallels between the condemnation with certainty of barefooting from the "experts" and the demonization of fats and praise of ...
I looked up the race results to Surf City. It looks like Alex ran the Half Marathon in 1:12:08 (5:31 pace). That's fast. Did he run it barefoot??? It must have...
Quick update. After a week break to let the pain completely disappear, I did a couple of runs following your recommendations and have had no more problem so...
That's a good point Oliver. Another way of looking at your "nature knows best" summary is think about how we evolved here, and what was present when our...
I don't know when bananas were "invented" but I have read that many fruits have been developed to contain more sugar now than what they did originally. Plus...
this is a pretty good recounting of a fellow's travel to africa with the express purpose of infecting himself with hookworm (via his bare feets) to manage his...
<<< weston price's nutrition and physical degeneration is another good read that speaks to the wisdom of "primitive" folks (who were more often than not ...
Fruits are available year round in tropical climates. However not the same fruit every season. The forest gorrillas eat a variety of up to 400 different fruits...
Yup, the feel of sitting while running is a common observation from those starting out. And yes, you'll probably notice, especially, your quads working a bit...
YES, Alex (Rocky Raccon) Romero ran barefoot in the Surf City Half Marathon. The event which has a bonus prize shared among those who run faster than a set...
Oh NUTS! Let's not forget nuts too. As these can be stored throughout the year for later consumption. Have fun, -barefoot ken bob ... the ... to ... before ......
Any carbs we do eat, preferablly should come from natural whole sources, that way, nature has balanced the sugars with fats and proteins. Even the modern...
I can attest to most of the advise (aside from the nutrition and shoes). I wore my nice new high-tech shirt (courtesy of Surf City Marathon) at Surf City...
