One of the healthiest choices to keep feet looking good, is to keep them away from shoes. Have fun, -barefoot ken bob ... I'd like them to feel and look their...
One could even ask, "if running is so wonderful...?" Like Michae said, we don't all do the most wonderful things. How many strokes, heart attacks, cancer,...
sure Gordon, we may add to BKB's short list a few entries "protection". Did you know there are workers who work on incandescent lava? They actually use normal...
It has now been two years since I have been training barefoot. I have put one marathon under my belt and have learned to run on quite a few surfaces. I now...
I've been reading ultra-marathoner Dean Karnazes's second book "50/50" (about his 50 marathons in 50 days, in 50 states), and thinking about all the attention...
Michael, ... I hear you. On a related note, I confirmed this morning that running barefoot on gravel is no fun. At least, not until you've built up a ...
Hi Mike I guess the reason there isn't such a book is that there are not that many barefoot ultra-marathoners around, or a large enough reading public open...
As he wil probably tell you , Ken Bob is writing such a book, which if he wasn't so busy relax, relax, relaxing, he would have finished 2 years ago... Â ...
I gotta say this to that comment about the barefoot ken outsole... when i first met ken, it was in a 5k race, and as i bent over to double knot my shoes in...
My catch for a book about Running Barefoot, is the opposite of Dean Karnaze's catch for presenting ultra-running. That is, Dean presents ultra running as an...
Scratch the "Book" user. Too much risk that someone will change the password and block out others. Instead, I have opened it up so folks can register and log...
Barefoot Runner: The Life of Marathon Champion Abebe Bikila is a great read, by the way. However, it doesn't give much information about how to run barefoot,...
Running barefoot on gravel is the most stimulating fun one can have, outside of the bedroom. That is, folks should embrace the sensitivity, the stimulation of...
This seems hard to believe at first, but it's all true. I find that when I expect running on a surface to hurt, it does. When I relax and trust(my body, Ken, a...
Just joined the board today. I ran a half marathon in 07 with shoes and ruined my ITB. I almost gave up on running because it just kept hurting, but then I...
Welcome to the forum, I've had a little pain like yours when I started barefooting, in my case it was nothing to bad, a few days of massaging took care of it....
... Welcome to the group! 8:-) I got rid of ITBS while transitioning to barefooting. I completed my 2nd marathon using FiveFingers and even if I had to fight...
I just ran 15 miles yesterday, probably my longest run since Long Beach Marathon, last October. Today, I have similar pain on the top of my foot. I have...
Thanks for the responses! Terry, I live in Savannah. I don't think I'm going to be running the marathon now though (see below...) Luc, I think you hit the...
... Please forgive me if you have this mentioned on your site. One thing that helps me is... Walking on the outside and inside edges of my feet. Both forward...
... Oh. 8:-( I hope it's not a stress fracture. I'll have good thoughts for you and will anxiously wait to read from you that it was not one. Please let us ...
Welcome, mswagner78!! I experienced the same thing you are when I first started out running BF. I believe it came from consciously trying to "run on the toes" ...
Anyone doing the Southern California Half Marathon on Saturday? I got sick twice in the last month and have just started running again recently. I noticed that...
I will see you there Mike. It will be my longest barefoot run and my first barefoot race. I am really looking forward to it. - Barefoot Dustin Long Beach,...
Thanks for the thoughts Luc! Today it's not hurting very much at all. If it is the beginning of a stress fracture, its not very bad yet and hopefully it will...
Hi everyone, The purpose of this yearly post is to stimulate interest and discussion about the biomechanical effects of shoes on "age-related" degenerative...
New to the group and barefoot running. Right now I run in VFF and barefoot on the treadmill. I've been running about once/twice per week BF and am taking it...
