My experience: - walking barefoot is very helpful in improving running barefoot technique - walking barefoot will cause even more people to think you are nuts....
Dear fellow naked-foot runners, A request for some thoughts, problem sharing and advice with the problem of inner thigh chafing. For the first few years of...
A couple years ago, I ran the Disneyland half-marathon, and got to run through the park barefoot. The event was held early in the morning before the park was...
... I would hope you were not the only barefoot character, since I would expect Dumbo, The Aristo cats, mowgli and the animals in "The Jungle Book", tarzan and...
Hey there Yanni, i believe the greatest aid to not chafing is to lose the addiction to the salt shaker... i'm sure you have seen people at the end of a long...
Yanni, There are 2 things that I know of that will cause me to have a chafing problem. One is having a little too much flab in my thigh/crotch area and the...
Hi Michae, I completely agree - an excess of salt is certainly a bad idea, and I have indeed cut out added salt wherever possible for quite a few years....
Hi Yanni! I myself don't abuse salt either, and I still remember chafing when I wore regular running shorts. Personally, I wouldn't run with anything but lycra...
... chafing problem. One is having a little too much flab in my thigh/crotch area and the other is humidity. I wonder if we can build up callus on our inner...
I wonder if your body hasn't built-up some muscles in the inner thigh area? I have found my leg muscles are much different from running barefoot than they used...
It is very true that most people get way too much salt intake, but please beware of hyponatremia, risk factors are being female, thin and small-framed, and...
Been there ... done that on several occasions. I have at times been dehydrated and have shown symptoms of hyponatremia. After one ocassion a few years ago,...
I think you may be thinking of Donald Duck. He was the speech-challenged cousin of WB's Daffy Duck. ... ... How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good...
Yani, I had a similar problem when I first started running about 3 years ago. I was a bit over weight and I have what can be considered --even before any ...
I was thinking on my last run...during the day the sidewalk gets blasted with sunlight, and in the summer lots of heat. It can be 75 and the blacktop is too...
I was thinking about how hot the asphalt was yesterday during a bf 10 miler. It was close to 90F. I like the searing affect I feel under my feet from hot...
Hi, Yeah the UV would kill pretty much all of it, I wouldn't worry about it there would be more bacteria in your socks ;) Antony ... From: Jon Simon To:...
Hello, Since I have started running barefoot, and or minimal shoes my leg muscles have dramatically increased. I am 6'6 and am down to about 220lbs. Because of...
this is quite true, and while dehydration can be quite annoying (at the least), hyponatremia can kill very quickly. Personally, I think it is the rapid change...
I think Yanni's goal was to get away from using a crutch to solve the problem. In other words, if we are designed, naturally to run, then we shouldn't need to...
More like the callus we build up on the tops of our feet, from wearing shoes, since the skin is of a thinner nature than the soles. But, yes, it should be...
NextLevel... what 100 miler are you considering? I'm going to give the Burning River 100 in Cleveland a stab, it begins August 2nd. I'd like to run the whole...
Native americans did not have a problem with diabetes until europeans introduced them to refined sugars. I'm not saying that native americans are wild animals,...
A couple folks come to mind... Not very short of 100 miles, "Ingrid Kupke ... in a 24-hour running competition ... ran (probably barefoot) 154.14 km" ...
Not to mention, if I'm not mistaken, several additional miles, barefoot, on rough roads, off the official course... Have fun, -barefoot ken bob ... and ... 42 ...
Welcome Scott, Yes, it's easy to forget that we came with our own natural leather soles... Have fun, -barefoot ken bob ... NY. I am new to barefoot running....
I've heard that animal salt myth, but have never seen it... i know that the factory farms feed lotsa salt to the livestock before sale so they will bulk up on...
... As you say, that's just a theory, and with little evidence. What science shows is that our body needs a certain level of salt (135-145 mEq/L), and if you...
... A molecule of salt is a molecule of salt, regardless of its provenance. The body has no way to differentiate between salt from a vegetable from salt from...
