    FUNDRAISER TIME! The Site Is In Major Need Of Your Immediate Help!

    I've made a donation. This site and the members were a tremendous resource for my dissertation. I graduated Dec. 2021 by the way. I'll be blogging about the results this year. I hope we can save the site.

    Question about Olympic barefoot runners

    Crowdsourcing here: Can anyone name runners who ran barefoot in the Olympics besides Abebe Bikila and Zola Budd? Clarifying - 1900s to now. I'm not asking about the ancient Greeks :)

    Beginning of osteoarthritis in ankle and short achilles

    I needed to read this today. I'm in my early 50s, and joint pain is "UGH." No plans to stop moving, especially after your advice :)

    Participants needed for study

    Thank you to all who participated in my interviews and who reached out to support me. I completed the interviews last August (2020), so apologies if this post requesting participants is being recirculated. Not sure why. I'm now in the writing stage of the dissertation. The plan is to defend this...

    Pain at inner side of knee

    I had a similar pain only mine wasn’t only in the morning. I would feel it after sitting too long at my desk too. I saw a doctor, but it was virtually due to Covid. He said it appeared to be an inflamed tendon, and he recommended I back off a bit (but not entirely) from my runs and that I work...

    HYSTERICAL!: BEST SUPERBOWL AD EVER?!

    Culturally insensitive to say the least. We've come a long way since 1999, but we have a ways to go.

    Participants needed for study

    Dear Barefoot Runners, I’m looking for barefoot runners willing to participate in my research (and there’s a gift card in it for you!). I am a doctoral candidate at George Mason University (Fairfax, VA) researching in the growing field of the Rhetoric of Health and Medicine. I came to barefoot...

    Really, really, really new to barefoot running

    If anyone is still out there and following this thread and wondering what happened to me, well, I'm back! Last year, 2019, was the year from hell, and I'm glad it is over. Things are 100% better in my personal life, so I can go back to focusing on my doctorate (took 6 months off) and to focusing...

    Dr. Mark Cucuzella's 25th Boston Marathon

    I “work” on cutting carbs, but it is so hard as a vegetarian (sometimes pescatarian). Any others struggle with this balance?

    Just wow. When I think about all I see on YouTube, and THIS is what they are censoring? I say fight it!

    Really, really, really new to barefoot running

    Here's an update - not necessarily about barefoot running - I ran the half-marathon (with my son, yay!) this weekend to "celebrate" 50 years. I ran a 1:51, so I hit both goals of finishing and running under 2 hours. It was a great morning! While I did run shod and not in minimalist shoes, I do...

    Really, really, really new to barefoot running

    Thank you for this thoughtful and informative reply, Gordon. This is great. What are Alexander Technique/Feldenkrais? Can you point me to a book/paper on these? I didn't go into my history too much, but yes, I have already been working on form with my doctor for the past year and a half, and it...

    Really, really, really new to barefoot running

    Finally had some time this weekend to explore this site, and I found this introductions page, so here goes: I'm currently suffering from two knee problems: my left probably has a slight tear in the meniscus (according to doctor), and it hurts while running fast; my right hurts when I run slow -...
