    Does “Lifting the Foot” Make Us Slower?

    You could also ask; is runners using pose running slower than others? If any they are religious about the 'lift your feet'. I tend to tell beginning barefoot runners to lift thir feet rather than kick off as it greatly reduces the risk of blisters. In my own running i sometimes think it for two...

    New Guinness Record set for longest barefoot run?

    Anyway guinnes records only count those that actually apply for them. Ane there are special requriments for approval. I remember there is a german woman that have run over 170 km within 24 hours without shoes. Just cannot remember the name. It was in the record page on Ken Bob Saxton's page...

    The Perfect Runner Documentary - Part One

    Very interesting watch. I am not compleetly in agreement with all their 'facts'. I would argue that dogs and wolfs (of different species) are better long distance runners than us (even though they do not transpire). Also looking at bipeds, birds have a better locomotiv system than us and a...

    Running Shod More Efficient

    Nice review. I did not read the paper but I wonder to things after reading your review. 1. Did they remember to take the weight of their 'barefoot' device into account when doing calculations? It might, combined with the sock, weigh more than 50 g. 2. It is funny that the slope graf over...

    Barefoot Winter Challenge - 2011

    Hi, I have a lot of data from my barefoot runs with temperature and snow coverage. I was thinking of entering them on the spreadsheet but I do not know the wind chill factor for them. We do not normally use that in Denmark. Also I am not sure it makes that much difference (unless it is really...

    I think the zoom is much better now. I do not need it any closer as it is. Thanks

    Solved location on map needs refinement

    As it is right now when you zoom in all you can you can still fit all of mainland Spain into the map. That is the 51st largest country in the world. It means that all living in Barcelona (5 mio.) will show up as one dot (if they are placed on top of each other). I was not thinking something so...

    Solved location on map needs refinement

    Could the zoom lock be a bit closer. Right now it is something like 500x500 km, a bit too much if you ask me.

    Solved Missing voting for IBRD T-shirt

    No it looks like just the vote result page. I would upload a screen shot but I cannot upload it directly and if I need to find somewhere else it get too time consuming.

    Solved Missing voting for IBRD T-shirt

    I wanted to vote for the IBRD T-shirt contest, but I am not able to do it. There do not seem to be any bottons or the like. I was able to vote for the forum 'mark read' bobble thing.

    Compression pants

    So far I have yet to see a scientific paper that say they are better, but a lot of runners claim they make them better and recover faster. I have not tried them myself.

    Thanks alot for the input. Now I have some more material to support my arguments that heavy runners can run barefoot too :-)

    Weight of barefoot runners?

    I often hear the argument: "I am too heavy to run without shoes!" when talking to other runners about running barefoot. My personal oppinion is that weight is not a matter when running barefoot. Only when running well. But as i myself have never weight more than 85 kg. I would like to hear if...

    New Study shows Shod running more efficient??

    I have tried to run both shood and barefoot on a treadmill during a master thesis study. I definetly felt it harder to run in shoes. The treadmill did, though, brake down during the high speed barefoot runs ;-)
