His message is below:
Barefoot running is captivating the running world; do you run barefoot or in minimal footwear? If so, I could do with your help, I’m performing a study on the effects of barefoot running on performance in habitual barefoot runners, in order to complete a masters in Sport Health and Exercise Science at the University of Hull. I aim to see whether performance is enhanced by running barefoot and in order to complete the study I need 20 volunteers who have been running barefoot or in minimal footwear for a minimum of 6 months. The study will consist of a number of tests performed in barefoot and trainer conditions including a lactate threshold test, VO2max test, and 5km race performance, in total we will need you to attend 8-10 sessions, if you would like to help me as well as finding out your VO2max and other stats that may come in handy for your own personal training then please contact me Ashley Warner on [email protected] or 07784430404. Many thanks.
