    Summer marathon suggestions

    Hi all, I'm looking to run a marathon in July or August this year and need some suggestions for good barefoot-friendly races. I'm interested in a road marathon, as I'm a horrible trail runner. I train mostly on roads, so smooth pavement, concrete, etc, would be ideal. I'm open to pretty much...

    Barefoot + keto

    Hi Bryan, I'm not a doc, but I thought I'd share my personal experience, as it may be relevant. I've adopted a ketogenic diet of sorts, practicing intermittent fasting for the past 5+ years. I've also been playing around with a paleo-vegetarian diet for the last month or so and feel...

    Barefoot friendly half marathon

    Hi all, I'm considering running my first barefoot half-marathon and am looking for suggestions for a good course. Ideally, I'd like a late November or early December race, somewhere in or near California. I can't run trails barefoot yet and prefer smooth pavement or concrete. Any...

    Hip instability

    Backfixer, thank you for the fast response. Your explanation makes me optimistic. I hope it really is a torqued core and that I'll be able to address it with more targeted treatment. Thanks!

    Cheers from San Diego, CA

    Phil and TJ - thanks for the warm welcomes! Phil, I'm sorry to hear about your struggles with the transition, but in a way, it's somewhat comforting to know you're not alone. I'm still experimenting with different amounts of barefoot and minimalist running and seem to consistently find that...

    Cheers from San Diego, CA

    I've already met a few of you, thanks to IBRD, so a formal introduction is now far overdue. I've been running since about 1996 and only discovered barefoot running less than a year ago. Running shod, I was plagued with chronic hip and achilles injuries, all of which have disappeared after the...
