    BFR and mood

    As a newcomer to the BF movement I continue to be incredibly surprised by many of the benefits of having my soles on the earth. Short history: I was diagnosed many years ago with a mood disorder (depression, anxiety). As a member of Generation SSRI I was prescribed a number of different...

    the elusive form

    Thanks for all of the helpful replies, luddite that I am I don't know how to respond individually! I think at this point that my main problem is overthinking the process. I will just keep my mind open and my feet on the ground and see where it goes. Thanks!

    the elusive form

    As a recent convert to barefoot running (hell, running at all), A quick question for all.. Is it common to 'feel" like you've intellectually grasped the whole proper form thing, then go out and feel like,,nope, I don't have a clue. I know I'll get some good advice, thanks in advance! AL

    This is what happens when you don't know how to run barefoot...

    I'm new to this and I know that was incredibly dumb. To take one of his statements slightly out of context "...I hope I inspired others...". Yes he did; keep both of your shoes on when running on a hot track. You're giving barefoot running a bad name!

    define "distance"

    Or, to be more precise, what kind of distances are we talking about when evaluating the benefits of running as they relate to health (cholesterol levels, glucose levels and mood)? Recently had these issues rear their scary heads, and wish to avoid throwing meds at them! AL

    leg length discrepancy

    beginner question. I am new to BF, actually, new to running as far as I am concerned as I haven't run for over 30 years. I was advised not to due to a significant leg length discrepancy (1 inch...due to avascular necrosis as an infant.) So, any advice as to how to proceed? I am going slowly...
