If you've been running barefoot for a couple of years and are looking for a challenging road race, this one might be the ticket. First of all, the race was at...
I've been running barefoot for almost four months now. I only seem to manage about two runs a week, and I do my runs with one of those couch to 5K programs on...
A quick run this morning in the moonlight. Heard a great horned owl celebrating something on my way out, and again coming home. Crisp air. If it weren't for...
It sounds to me that you're leaning back when you run, rather than forward into the run. Try falling forward a little bit. You'll have to pick up your...
Peter - no wonder we love running so much. I was standing in Lake WAshington yesterday (Sunday) for my wave start in the Kirkland Sprint Triathlon watching...
I like ot use songs for cadence, that way I am entertained and instructed. Maybe the energy of the song helps me keep the cadence. Merrell has a list of...
At one of my recent play-fun-shops (clinic), one of the players (students), was using a cadence meter (a pod on one ankle sending signals to his Garmin...
One time I was having a difficult time during a run. I just felt like I ran out of steam. I still had a long ways to go to finish up, and I really didn't want...
Someone here posted about some good cadence music on the Merrell web site. I couldn't find the music. In looking through their site, I couldn't help but leave...
I loved your video! Great job! Did you come to the gravel parking lot at the end of your run when your feet were the most worn out? That's cruel from the race...
I have often "sung" songs in my head to help me keep my cadence going. A lot of times it is music I have sung in church choirs. It would be really funny if I...
I'm always shocked to see people shocked that someone is running barefoot. You'd think by now, it should be common. That one thing I like about running at the...
thanks for spotting this. I guess she ran all the way that way. Let us know if there are any photos. . maybe there could be a list of barefoot winners in...
The course was a 1.56 mile loop, so I ran barefoot over that stretch of gravel 21 times. I did ask if they could sweep a path for me; they just laughed....
Serious respect for a great accomplishment. I imagine that by the end of the race that gravel hurt more and more. Once I ran a similar distance (not a race,...
It's possible that the gravel was a contributing factor to why my feet didn't hurt after the race, ironically. The rocks were annoying and uncomfortable, and...

Hi All, I'm new to barefoot running and was hoping someone out there has gone through what I am experiencing and could offer some advice/encouragement. I began...
... It's called Greek toe. The Greeks were noted for being lousy runners ... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pheidippides ... Yes, lots of us. ... Bingo ... Very...
... I haven't checked with a podiatrist, but my 2nd toe is longer than my big toe, although not by much (3mm, maybe.) And that doesn't say anything about the...
As a general rule, running shorter distances is more likely to be helpful than discontinuing. The body adapts, and if 3 mile runs are painful, pull back to 2...
If it makes you feel any better my second metatarsal is longer than my first, and I've been running barefoot 8 years. I've occasionally had pains as you have...
