    People's reactions when you run

    Reviving an "oldie but goodie" thread. This morning, I was running facing traffic as I usually do when I noticed a car on the opposite side of the road going my direction slowing way down. There was no traffic coming at me so I didn't know why the car was slowing down. I looked over and the...

    Advice on running in Summers where temperature are hot

    I don't know where you live but here in NJ this time of year the overnight lows are in the upper 60's / low 70's. Sunrise is around 5 am. I find that if I get my run finished by 9 am the black asphalt isn't too hot to run barefoot on. If I can't run in the morning I need to wear my sandals...

    Well...? How did it go today on this fine International Barefoot Running Day?

    I had some other commitments so I was only able to get out for a 1 mile streak keeper on May 7th. It was barefoot though. I made up for it with a nice 7 mile tempo run this past Sunday.

    Planet Fitness

    At the gym I used to go to in Rehoboth near the Walmart, I ran barefoot on the treadmill without any issues. In the weight area, I would wear shoes. In hotels I take the forgiveness over permission route and only once had another guest complain. I had been staying at the hotel every week...

    I’m Back!

    Nice to see you around these parts again. Are you at the main brewery in Milton or one of the other locations? I still have my place in Rehoboth and can be still be found running through town barefoot.

    Question About Foot Hygiene

    This is an interesting question. I don't think bacteria and virus are really a concern from walking or running typically. If you stepped in dog poop or something similar then it may be a concern but I think you would wash that off. Most people rarely if ever wash their shoes yet wear them in...

    Running form and soreness on forefoot

    Erik82, I agree with your assesment that running on different surfaces - asphalt, gravel etc will lead to differnet sensory perceptions. The original poster stated that they are running on an asphalt track. My assumption (right or wrong) is that it is a nice smooth surface that is easy to run...

    Running form and soreness on forefoot

    When I first started the soles of my feet would be sore. As you said, when the soreness is gone it is time to run again. This is one of the reasons it is better to start skin to ground rather than in minimalist shoes or sandals. The soreness keeps you from doing too much too soon and getting a...

    So... How did 2022 International Barefoot Running Day Go?!

    I was thinking this was tomorrow, I even brought my IBRD t-shirt from 2015 to wear tomorrow. I now see that last Saturday was the 1st Saturday in May so I missed it by a week. Last Saturday, I went to the boardwalk and ran 3 miles. I did 1 mile in the sand and 2 on the boardwalk all barefoot...
