Whether you are an official coach or not, there are many of us who know friends or in my case my son, who is just starting minimalist running. What do you tell someone who is just starting? From my experience I know that it is much more dangerous to say too much than to say too little.
You can give them a book list, which they will not read or you can tell them they should first try it barefoot to learn the form, which they will not do, or you can tell them to take it slow, which they will believe they are doing, when in fact they are not, or you can tell them to go out and have fun which they cannot avoid.
Your thoughts?
