Back when I first started going barefoot back in 2009 I noticed that in addition to shoes we (the BF community as a whole) seemed to buck a lot of other "conventional wisdom." There were a lot of good conversations around a lot of different issues.
*Shoes are bad
*Stretching before runs isn't always necessary and can be hurt your performance.
*Avoiding Gluten - in 2009 this was pretty much anti-conventional wisdom. The first I ever heard of this was on the BF forum (maybe Barefoot MandyBee? Or similar? It's weird because I remember her "character" just not her name.)
*Chia as a running food
Anybody have anything else? Have I missed any new developments in my absence?
