Maria, I'm Paleo and run a lot more than you do. What you should do is just keep going and see how you feel. As Gordon has pointed out, if you run easy you ...
Julie, I think it would depend on the shoes - the more shoe, the slower I would transition into it. For example, huarache sandals and, I think something like...
I will say at least for me intermittent fasting (12-24 hrs) did help with my chronic inflammation (allergies). I'm not sure it woudl help with actue ...
This morning was the first for me to run with a partner. I normally run alone. Not by choice, but never had the chance to find a running partner.....until...
I'm not a fan of running in groups. Another person for a few miles during a long run is ok, but running time is me time. ... I'm not a fan of running in...
Alex, First off welcome! I have had similar pains a couple times in the last several years of barefoot running. Thankfully both times it turned out to be a...
It makes sense on one hand.Less protein synthesis, less protein used for inflammation.At the same time less protein in the repair process.Anyway, something...
Hi Brian.Thanks for your response. Somehow I was doing it using a stick to the leg muscles. I'll try to do what you say. Today I woke up and felt that the pain...
Hello Curt, It is good to read that your foot is improving, although it takes time. My age is not in the spring of my life either, 49 yrs. Over the past three...
I was wondering if anyone knew of a BF/minimalist running friendly podiatrist in the Los Angeles area? I think that I have an inflamed joint capsule or a...
Alex, actually I had plenty of protien. I typically eat a few hours before my workout, then I would eat another meal directly after. I would eat lunch, at...
Marco: Yes, please let me know if you make any progress with the arch. I too am thinking it could take a few years. From your photos it looks like your...
What will probably happen first is that they will pull out a big syringe full of corticosteroids to shoot into your joint. I've had this done and it actually...
My partners are my doggies (part of the time). I don't want to run with ANY humans, because it's me and my body time. I can't listen to my body if I'm...
I loooove running with others... shod or not, slow or fast... I have lived off in the boonies where i don't even see other folks running... ever. So, i am...
Why would people wear shoes for otherwise naked running? The annual Bare Buns Fun Run near Seattle is an up-and-down trail run that necessitates thongs for...
You are right Curt, at my left foot the second toe is bowed to the 1st toe, just like your right foot. But its position does not alter when landing. My right...
Interesting to read why some like or donąt like to run with partners or in a group(shod or unshod). Thanks for the insights :) -- Barefoot Tatman in...
So I've read ken bob's book and have tried to work on my form. So far it has helped my barefoot walking, and the lesson to bend the knees has been what has...
Well first off if you are sore, then don't run. Especially if the soreness comes with tension. Doing this will lead to injury, I say this from experience. ...
When I run with others, I always warn them that I need a wider berth because I often suddenly move to avoid spots. I also tell them my pace will be variable. ...
... Have you ever found out what it would be like to eat these problem-causing fruits with nothing else in your stomach first? According to natural hygene,...
No and I wouldn't want to try. I end up getting a severe stomach ache, one where I can barely move, that lasts for 6-7 hours. To me it is just not worth...
A little aside on the fruit thing: some folks are very sensitive to fructose, myself included. An apple isn't that noticeable, but a couple, or mixed fruit in...
Thanks Tracy, and Maria, It makes sense to go slow - I did 1m in VFFs in the middle of a 5m BF run. Felt funny!! I'll keep on stretching the distance until i...
My problem is caused from Oral Allergy Syndrome. I'm allergic to tree pollen and ragweed, when I eat certain fruits or veggies my body thinks the protein...
Hello, I'm new to the group and I just started the journey of barefoot running. I'm only onto my second week of this, however, I find that my calves are...
Hi all. New to the group, and I thought I'd introduce myself. I'm currently NOT a BF runner, or a runner of any type. I'm almost 50, married with kids, I...
It's going to take a while. You can only relax to a point, after that the muscles and tendons just need time to stretch out and strengthen up. Removing the...
