Well, one nice thing about barefeet is that if you get too complacent, even on a treadmill, you're likely to get blisters! Tracy E. Longacre from Katima...
I read most of the his write up (the guy from South Africa, yes?) and also felt that it misrepresented you. I even tried to correct a comment that he made on...
Well, it doesn't get all that cold here in Concord CA (near Berkeley, but on the east side of the hills), but it does freeze some nights and stays in the 40s...
Hey, the moderator, Ross Tucker, Ph.D., is not a shoe consultant, he's a "Sports Scientist!" The initial statement/question posed in this "debate" immediately...
Put some shoes on man! You're having these problems because your feet were not meant to run on hard asphalt without shoes. I can cook on a rock like my...
from what i know about barefoot kenbob's lazy approach to running, his ancestors most likely waited for the rabbits to run by, and then they just grabbed...
1. her name is emily. 2. did we know how her running was progressing while she was wearing shoes? 3. she admits she did too much too soon...that is probably a...
Why did you join this list? Moderator, can this person please be removed. I, for one, did not join this list to be harassed by idiots. Tracy E. Longacre from...
I was getting ready to ask why "runnermanrunningaway" joined, too. You got to it before I did, Tracy! :) Hugs,Donna If wishes were dirty dishes, I'd have a...
Are these any different from other toe socks? The toe sock, huarache combo is good, until its wet out IMHO. Sent via BlackBerry by AT&T ... From: "Robert"...
There are many little tricks that you can learn as you go. If I'm wearing anything on my feet, I seek out places with gravel, dirt and cinders and make sure...
I agree Tracy. I don't usually post unless I have a question of my own but I do read the posts. I think there is something to learn even if we have differing...
Yes, he is a sports scientist and, according to the conference materials, a consultant for Adidas South Africa. The problem is that he has a preconceived...
yes, ice is great. also, running in rain, i.e. on wet surfaces, is also great, because if you don't run properly you can easily blister up or just get raw....
I'm sure everyone knows the next sentence that follows this one. I have been reading Born to Run for the second time and this sentence and the following one...
But wet diminishes friction. I've found that it more than offsets the purported skin softening (in other words, I get away with more in the rain, on net). Sent...
I ran my first barefoot marathon in 1990 (Seattle Goodwill Games) and have been doin' several barefoot marathons a year ever since 2002 when I learned from...
Not here. I have to take extra care not to blister if the ground's wet. ... Not here. I have to take extra care not to blister if the ground's wet. On Fri,...
I think it's interesting how he said he "hates how this issue has been polarized" but then states that "an extreme question was necessary". Either way, at...
Hi, I think you are right about the postings. Many people that post here are newbies with questions, and have yet to learn how to BF properly, and have...
Here's my data point. Before BFR I was injured every single year of my (then) twenty year running career, at least once per year, usually twice. After BFR...
I am one of many who always reads the posts here but very rarely posts anything myself. I have been running barefoot since April of 1999. In those days,...
Victor, I did exactly as you, starting on almost the same date. The difference is that MY thick head resulted in three metatarsal stress fractures in rapid...
I'm from Canada, and I say just get out there and run barefoot. Yes, there will be days that running barefoot is not advised, but just throw on a cheap pair...
Note: My longest/coldest run was 11 miles at 10°F Wow. Were you running in the snow? What tricks did you use? To: RunningBarefoot@yahoogroups.com From:...
great post ross. i started running september 2010, first with vff's, and since april barefoot exclusively. based on my short experience, i would say that...
Zuckerbraun, Great work on the running with out injury! Its a big moment in your running, and was for me as well. It's like OK despite the setbacks, I've...
yes, it is a big moment. for about a year, i was moving forward at a snail's pace, with setbacks along the way. then, the last day in october (after about a...
I would like to see him be able to stick around - he might actually learn that for many of us (and our numbers are growing) shoes are not necessary, not...
