Yanni, this sounds like what Danny Dreyer is promoting with "Chi running". I've just bought his book on it and find that it makes lots of sense, even if he...
When I heard that one I was thinking of posting too. Seems the media loves the headline "Flip-Flop Flap at the Whitehouse" see http://tinyurl.com/7cjhb On...
For the purpose of my training log I use 50bpm. However just sitting in front of the computer before running I see 46 to 48bpm. Actually resting? A couple...
The Background: I've been barefooting for about two weeks now. The first week was great. I ran 8 miles, 4 on grass and 4 on concrete. I only got a few small...
... Very impressive: that's more or less the same as Lance Armstrong, one of the greatest athletes of all time... I have never measured my maximum value HR,...
Hi Timothy- You have to use your calves a lot in barefoot running. They help keep the running low (different) impact. I like to think when you run barefoot you...
BFRick, Enjoy RMNP! I wish I could take a quick trip up there to run with you, but we were just up there not too long ago and will be up again over Labor Day....
People have different opinions about resting and max heart rate and their definitions. I define resting heart rate as your average resting heart rate during ...
... I just checked mine here while sitting at my desk at work. I counted between 15 and 16 beats in 15 seconds, which works out to around 60-64 BPM. ... My...
resting heart rate - HR right as you wake up in the morning, while still in bed. Max heart rate, the maximum that you can attain, usually determined during a...
Understood...however, "how you feel" can be deceptive sometimes (ever felt great at the beginning of a marathon and then bonked at the end because you went out...
I have the book Heart Rate Monitor Training for the Compleate Idiot. Parker states that the max is unimportant. The max is basically the max. The resting heart...
I do not believe in genetics. It is easy to give up and say "my geneitcs are poor so why try". Running how you feel can lead to overtraining for most people. ...
I saw the story. I thought "who cares". Were they comfortable? Marc ... there was a news story about some teens going to the white house in flip flops and the...
"Sometimes when my form is on I feel weightless. A mysterious force pushes my body forward without effort. It is an incredible feeling!" I am getting this more...
I agree Ted. However I do not like to give my feet something to sweat against. My feet perform poorly soaked in sweat. Marc ... Howdy Richard I LOVE my...
Correct. Max - rest = Heart Rate reserve, a measure of CARDIAC function (not necessarily O2 uptake). And yes, the % you can sustain at is more important...
Hmmm, eye color, height, hair color, skin, teeth, facial features, feet, disease, absence of disease; all of these are genetic but aerobic performace is not......
Many factors contribute to skin, teeth, feet, disease, absence of disease. My grandfather who I've never met died from cirrhosis of the liver 10 years before I...
... - including genetics. Not bad for a guy that according to you should have complications from ... - cirrhosis caused by drinking is not genetic. - w/r/t...
I think you guys are speaking to different issues/concepts. I think there is no doubt that Lance Armstrong has genetics on his side and that people are ...
I believe in genetics, and that the sun will rise tomorrow. But, I have no control over these things, so I don't think about them that often. Instead I focus...
Relax, relax, relax. As Morgan pointed out, the tendons and muscles do act as the shock absorbing springs when running barefoot. But, we don't need to actively...
You don't sound like a regular guy! You sound kind of "irregular" to me (in a good way ;-) ). Most regular people would continue the cycle and make the easy...
It's true. Ask anyone. ... You don't sound like a regular guy! You sound kind of "irregular" to me (in a good way ;-) ). Most regular people would continue...
I was at 60 b/m when I started running in September and I've dropped about 4 to 56 b/m. I don't do high mileages or marathons yet. ... From: yannipapastavrou ...
Anyone who has followed my posts knows that my progress has been slow but steady. I have experienced many therapies to overcome chronic problems. The most...
Jamie, Thanks for the rambling post. That's exactly what I've been telling folks. In fact I told dozenz on Sunday, that running barefoot is the easiest way to...
