    People's reactions when you run

    Just had a mostly standard one just moments ago. When I parked at the um... park... to run, a family was parking at the same time and saw me start my run. Well 40 minutes later, run is over, they're still there hanging out by their car and since mine is right next to them We're essentially...

    VFF wearer, Rocky Trails, Tired feet

    I would like to temper all of these gear suggestions with the comment that, while I try to avoid running trails (I just don't like having to dodge people that much) I have experienced similar soreness from hiking on rocky trails. I have a working hypothesis --which I no longer have the occasion...

    Converting to bare feet

    As an additional point, your service providers may not be able to go barefoot all the time depending on their circumstances. When I worked as a caregiver, and even now that I work as a behavioral interventionalist, I was and remain required to wear close toed shoes while working (luckily vibrams...

    Converting to bare feet

    The best way to convince someone to consider a position that is in conflict with their currently held beliefs is not to present it as something that said person 'should believe' or even as something you want them to do. Your right to interfere in the way someone else leads their life ends where...

    Winter Challenge Coordinator Needed

    Tristan how does that work for someone like me who never has temperatures in the Winter Challenge range available to run in?

    Amazing kids

    That last sentance sounds familiar, I had to do that myself. Glad to hear that they're starting out with some good resources and doing well!

    18.12 Challenge 2016

    Good job! I actually might be interested in joining you at this race in a few years, when I have the kind of money I would need to actually leave the state!

    Comment by 'Wanderer Jiyuren' in '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.

    This Llanelli man is taking on a half marathon BAREFOOTED to mark 65th birthday

    I hope I can still run a half marathon at that age. Good luck to him and may the streets of Cardiff be well-swept.

    Footprints in the Sand

    the past couple months I've been running a half marathon route on a series of local beaches fairly regularly and have noticed that while there are almost always a number of runners on the beach at the same time as me, every single one of them is wearing standard running shoes. It makes me sad...

    I went for a run and got...

    I've actually never been too worried about glass, though a recent trip to the town just north of mine has made me think I've been a bit sheltered in that regard. Every time I have encountered glass and stepped on it, nothing bad happened, and every time was an accident. Goat Heads, on the other...

    Coming out of the barefoot closet

    It's more something I'd be worried about newer service providers having a problem with because they might see it as a liability and they may still be coming to terms with the limotations of what they don't have the rights to control about the time they spend with you. Just something to file away.

    Coming out of the barefoot closet

    So Tyler, working from the other side of the service provider coin (I am a fully certified DSP and currently work in that capacity) I feel it's my duty to inform you, though I suspect you already know, that as you are an adult, you have the right to wear or not wear whatever footwear you want...

    Urban running

    How far ahead do you scan while pathing?

    Hi

    ^This. I chose my words very carefully to exclude any mention of striking, hitting, or pounding your feet against the ground. Its a thing you should think about often when you first start, regardless of how slow you may end up having to run as a result.

    Hi

    Alright, thank you very much for that. Looks like you probably have fairly good form, though it would be hard to tell for sure without a video of you running. Keep on keeping those knees bent, and unless I'm reading this wrong, sounds like you are landing on your midfoot or the ball of your...

    Hi

    What are you doing with your feet and your knees when you run? What part of your feet do you contact the ground with? Where do your feet land relative to your hips? How fast are you running? Have you had health problems related to your legs in the past? Sorry for so many questions, but the...

    Optimal running weight?

    Well since it doesn't look like this is going to die I may as well weigh in (I'm so sorry I promise I'm not making a pun I just talk this way XD) on it. Even though I'm using running to lose a bit of the extra weight I (we're talking like ten to fifteen pounds, I'm still pretty small) accrued...

    Ampla Fly carbon fiber shoe

    Well.... It's way to early in the morning for me to be this cynical about other hoomuns.
