Thanks Barefoot KenBob and Ross for your prompt answers. I did have a small cartilidge tear in one knee which was repaired and cartilidge trimmed in both...
Well, The good thing about TP is that you can do it yourself, you only have to pay the cost of the book. However, if your torn cart. is source of the pain, the...
Thanks Ross, I will have a look at that book. I don't think I am getting pain because of the cartilage as that was trimmed back a few years ago, so I hope TP...
Born to Run does include a chapter on Persistence Hunting. I use a great video of persistence hunting in one of my classes. Despite the shoes, note the...
Just to follow up on Nicolas' advice. As usual, I didn't do it right. Nicholas, I'm sure that you're right about this recoil, but when I tried to focus on...
I agree that humans don't "have to" breath with a cadence, the way cats do. However my experience is that rhythmic breathing is an integral part of any human...
Hi, just wondering, is it possible to become a long distance runner with flat feet? I have flat feet and have been wearing orthotics in my shoes and slippers...
We've heard similar stories countless times on these running barefoot groups. What's happening is that you run weird, probably because you never had the...
My wife has flat feet and falling arches. She was told when young to get orthotics, but she refused. She goes barefoot as often as possible, wears flip flops...
Your comment about trying to "focus on making that work" and getting injured as a result reminds me of something I have thought about often. Whenever I try to...
Ihave flat feet and bad knees. And I have used orthotics in the past. Right now I am fighting with some tendon/ankle issues, and I put it down to wearing...
Yes! I have always had very flat feet. My foot size has been 12, but my arch size has been 13. When I was 50 years old, I developed plantar faciitis, I think...

I've been wearing my run-amocs from www.softstarshoes.com for work (information technology, office mole). I love having shoes that allow my feet room to move!...
I never "put a rhythm" on my breathing when I run. The breathing rhythm is the consequence of the running and evolves over the course of a run. In fact, when...
Thanks Ken Bob, Yes, I probably do run wierd because of my biomechanics. Do you thik that because of that I should not persue the barefoot running or will I be...
I asked Barefoot KenBob the same question this summer. He said that outside is best but all terrain (including treadmills) has something to teach our bare...
Ken BoB, Sorry, I didn't look at that link before posting last time. I am now reading the RunBare site and I will carry on with the barefoot running. If he can...
