  1. Munro Leys Namosi Marathon 2022: Barefoot runner wins marathon

    So cool!!! “I have shoes, but I have always run without shoes,” he said after the race. “I prefer it that way. I don’t feel the sharp stones because they do not affect me.” I am far from being able to not care for sharp stones :(:mad: Anywho, it is inspirational:happy::barefoot:
  2. Grantham runner to run London Marathon barefoot in memory of his mother

    I got to admire even more people running long distances because it requires a lot of dedication and effort. Being on your feet running for 3-6 hours is still a feat for me. However my pain came from poor conditioning and not from the fact of being barefoot. Whatever the catharsis I hope for the...
  3. And we thought Vibram FiveFingers were odd!

    I suppose they'd need a celebrity sponsor of some sort to get some traction. There are already plenty of grievances that cost plenty so it seems plausible o_O Feels like a disservice for those trying to produce good things.:banghead::banghead:
  4. Book review: Bear foot by Richard Jansen

    I got the book and I had to read it right away. I was curious about it because I wondered how being or running barefoot was going to be presented. I loved the book, the message,the illustrations, what not. From the cover you get to see something flashy full of promises but restricting the poor...

  7. Lamar's Pierce Heins runs barefoot, places 11th at Big 8 Championships

    kind of the red pill, why would you go back to shod? Still young should be learnt to first run barefoot. Easy to start during warmer days of the year. My observation is people running harder than they can handle, getting stressed and dissatisfied. Barefoot sets one back to one's rightful level...
  8. Invisible ouchie in the heel

    Sharing my experience... I got PF and a PT order me taping the feet to allow the inflation to recede. It helped and I got recovered but later it came back, because, well, it wasn't addressing the cause but the symptom:confused: I got to discover that I was overstriding, putting too much work on...
  9. Hot roads and split calluses

    I commute by running. Once it was hot and everything was ok until I had to run over a black path of rubber. I didn't noticed right away but after 500m I felt like when I run over a Lego block. I got a nice blister and had to stop for a month as I could feel the burn for a long time. So it is not...
  10. Runner's high: when does it start?

    Thank you for your vivid descriptions! Really cool this happens :happy:
  11. Dealing with rocks

    As others have said, relaxing and bending the knee, making the feet bigger helps. I find that crushed human rocks sucks and it is easier when they are round and even. Still I need to slow down. The sharper the slower. My best advice is to always look at where you run and try to learn to identify...
  12. Runner's high: when does it start?

    I cannot say I have experienced the euphoria some describe. I also suspect some people mix the feeling after a hard training session (fight/flight response). But for me, so long, barefoot running has been about being gentle and I can say that I don't feel as thirsty or hungry as before, could...
