    My hometown's half marathon report.

    My hometown's half marathon report. By Barefoot Gentile It must be summer, it must be June, which means it’s time for my yearly hometown’s half marathon race report. To make it short and sweet, training was nothing magical, very low mileage hoovering around 15 – 18 miles per week. All runs...

    CrossFit

    I finally tried crossfit and I am addicted. My only set back from doing it more is it is very expensive where I live, so I do drop-ins. I only go once a week but it's awesome, but even though it's once a week I feel a difference with my running, just feel stronger.

    7 years running barefoot.

    Sept. 15th 2009 was when I took my first barefoot run around my neighborhood, it was a 1/2 mile. It was out of pure curiosity and I knew instantly that this was going to be the way I wanted to run. 7 years later I'm still at it. After that run I had two pairs of running sneakers, one was a 2...

    Fairfield, CT Half Marathon - 2016

    Fairfield, CT Half Marathon - 2016 By Barefoot Gentile This race marks my 10th barefoot half marathon. Basically the same formula I use for all half marathons, train 8 weeks (if you call it training), it's more like running 3 days a week which I do all the time, except running longer on the...

    Danbury, CT Half Marathon race report- April 2016

    Danbury, CT Half Marathon Race Report By Barefoot Gentile I figured I would get a jump start on the spring season and celebrate with a spring half marathon, what a weather surprise this was! Before I get into the weather I signed up 3 weeks before the race and really didn’t put the training...

    Todd Ragsdale

    Some very sad news to announce that Todd Ragsdale passed away while on a hike. Todd was on of the originators who pushed the boundaries when it came to barefoot running. I remember seeing a youtube video of him when he was attempting to run a 100 miler barefoot, the start of the race was in...

    4000 barefoot miles

    I hit the 4000 mile marker this week for barefoot running miles. I missed one year of not logging mileage, because of a year long sabbatical of running tech free and recording nothing, so this mileage would be longer, but I officially have 4000 on paper:) 2009 is when I started running...

    Bedrock Sandals?

    Anyone have experience with this brand? I'm looking to get a pair of sandals strictly for trails. The Bedrock Earthquakes look pretty good. I have a few pair of Luna's, and a pair of shamma sandals. I really like the Origin Luna's but the price tag is too high for me.

    South Norwalk Half Marathon – Oct. 17th, 2015

    A new half marathon PR of 1:44:48. The conditions were perfect, sunny, 45 degrees at the start a bit chilly but warmed up to around 50 degrees. I have been running close to 25 years now but only got really serious about running and going longer distances when I ran my first half marathon in...

    Your favorite Luna Trail Sandal?

    I have a desire to run my first 50 miler in 2016, though barefoot would be first choice how to run it, I'm also realistic. My choices right now are between the Oso's, Leadvilles, and the Mono's.

    6 years

    6 years ago yesterday (Sept 1st), out of pure curiosity I ran a 1/2 mile barefoot, something clicked. Got home put my 2 pairs of running shoes in a bag and threw them in a goodwill bin on the way to work, and the journey continues on!

    The Human Flag

    Here is my new thing to do at various places. I have been practicing this move for a few months now, and had record PR of holding it only for about 5 seconds when this was taken. I want to get to the point of holding for at least a minute.

    Running slower is tricky.

    I will start by saying I'm not the fastest runner out there. I usually average 8:30-9:00 pace on my runs, sometimes 8:00 pace for short distances, but decided to start running slower . I have to admit running at 9:30 or 10 pace is very strange right now, my body is not used to it and I need to...
