Barefoot Running SURVEY!

Took the survey, it tried to sign me up for something and I refused so I'm not sure if the survey actually accepted my input or not.

Hi Jiyuren, thanks for your comment! I checked the responses and it looks like it went through. However, to check you could click on the link again and if you have completed it, it will say "you have already taken this survey." Once again, thanks for your time!

Took the survey. You should probably link this additionally under https://www.thebarefootrunners.org/forums/studies-articles-about-studies.112/, I am not sure how many members will see this in the Blogs section.

I am not so sure that your focus on improving performance is the right one. Maybe it is for recreational athletes with overuse injuries. Look at nearly all the really good runners - they all wear shoes during racing. Even famous Dr. Mark Cucuzzella (see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kpnhKcvbsMM ) wears racing flats during racing. Shoes allow you to abuse yourself harder, and to ignore terrain up to a certain degree, at your long-term peril, but at a short-term performance win. IMHO, barefoot running does not so much improve performance, at least not if you are running correctly, but increases well-being, enjoyment, and long-term health.

Took the survey as well, very painless. Survey Monkey always sends you to another survey, but I've never had any issues taking their survey's in the past.

Completed!
