Hi, Yeah its interesting the Queensland rate. In Queensland is a bit like your Miami, you don't need long pants you wear short sleves all the time, the...
Good observations -- good contribution to BF running form... Ryan ... the two feet landing was throwing it off. ... way to "find" that form that you might be...
Something else to consider -- It makes a difference on the feet on when they are supporting weight. If your legs are extended behind you, they have little to...
If the rear leg is trailing too long, it is difficult to get the foot in position for the next step. In other words, the quick pull up of the foot, helps keep...
Hi, Yeah I think I've got it now, I can run every day now and I just get a few muscles aches now just from energy being absorbed by muscles and not hard...
After the 15km race I did on Sunday, it just reaffirmed I'm not going to race over this distance lol its too fast for too long, so 100km is pretty amazing! I...
Interesting observation. I have noticed that my easiest running form not only feels like I am leaning on the edge of falling over (forward) but it feels like I...
I think you need to lift the foot off the ground before the other one drops, not sure what it does but it works lol ;) The one that drops just drops with...
how are the soles, . . . vibrams and yours after 100K? I did my first one last year in Merrell Bahria trail thongs with vibram-like tough soles but the soles...
Rick - thanks for the update on this year's 9/11 Patriot's 9hr/11min time ultra run on the Two Trails Park in Olathe. I didn't know it was on-going. The...
I went around Paris mostly without shoes. I got no comments and a few but very few strange looks. Didn't run because I was walking for hours each day. It was...
The fam and I will be there next month. Haven't been to Paris since 2000. I wasn't running barefoot then, but I remember there were some excellent fine gravel...

I liked this comment from the article: “Walking barefoot has its advantages, such as giving the intrinsic muscles of the foot more work and therefore making...
Same study. Spin courtesy ABC. Get this: "We became interested in flip-flops when we noticed an increase in lower leg pain when our students came back from...
Dunno about flip flops though if the heel is not connected at the back you do use some sort of calf action to flick the back up on each step which is not very...
... I don't think so. At least no more than what I do when running barefoot to ensure that I do not land/touch on my heel prior to landing/touching on the...
Hi Benny, Congratulations! Are you thinking of running barefoot? I got in as well though I am very sceptical if I will run all of it barefoot considering I...
I think if it was connected at the back like a roman sandle the then it would be normal? ... From: Mike Rose To: RunningBarefoot@yahoogroups.com Sent:...
"The major shock absorption occurs back on the heel, and if the surface between the heel and the ground is not supported it does not allow the heel to absorb...
... then it would be normal? ... The pair that I normally wear seems normal enough even without a back strap. I happened to put on a pair of my step-son's...
I saw this NYT article about health hazards of going barefoot in parks, especially urban parks like those in NYC. It also talks about pure pleasures of walking...
Hi, yesterday I may have stepped in a thorn or something, and it irritates my foot a bit. However, I can't find anything in that sole! Even with a magnifying ...
A few months ago I got a tiny sliver of glass in my foot. Every once in a while I would feel it. The second time I went digging with a needle I got it out....
