I have found it annoying to carry anything while running as well. From time to time, though, I just let my arms hang freely from my shoulders and don't swing...
Hi folks, I'm a long-time barefooter (fourteen years full-time -I'm sure some of y'all recognise my name from the Society for Barefoot Living) but a beginning...
I swing my arms like this, and step like that. Except for when I swing my arms like that, and step like this. Sometimes I don't swing my arms and try to run...
Thx Josh -- a good reminder for me to be easy on my paying attention to myself. As one of my Feldy colleagues said recently, "Observing one's habits can...
Yeah - I wish I thought of this site with all these articles hitting the internets.... those Google ads are gonna pay off. ________________________________ ...
Wow. I don't think this is intended to be a joke, but since the author of the blog has decided to remain anonymous, and there is no option to post comments to...

Hi all, I'm Patricia, from Seattle. My husband and I switched to VFF running 4 months ago. It's been a long ramp up for me. I had A LOT of foot strengthening...
... Well, the point is to start very slowly, like an infant learning to run, one step at a time. Do NOT focus on going any distance until AFTER you have...
The fact that you mention strengthening your feet, and not LEARNING how to run FIRST, tells me a lot. Do you really want me to say it? Lose the footwear before...
You mention "stride tweaks" being made when switching from vffs to barefoot. While I think it's possible to learn to run lighter in vffs, running barefoot is...
