    Family of barefoot marathoner sues company over use of name -- Who didn't see this coming?

    Even though he is known for his barefoot running, and trained barefoot, I believe the only "Major" race (Olympic marathon) he performed barefoot was the one at Rome in 1960. He ran most of his major races minimally. So...if Vibram never ask for permission to use his name (and it sounds like...

    Dr. Lieberman Strikes Again

    I agree, you never want to discourage anyone from ANY kind of self improvement, but in this study, they tightly controlled the amount of barefoot running. So THAT should have been the only variable. Everybody runs what they are used to running to discourage any possible muscle gain/loss...

    Dr. Lieberman Strikes Again

    I understand the concept of money and funding restricting the scale of the analysis. My point was that by controlling the variables that you can, gives greater strength to your findings. "They also show large error bars on the mileage during the study. For instance, with the test group, the...

    Dr. Lieberman Strikes Again

    I love the idea of the test, but WHY can't anyone ever seem to do a study with good control variables? With results as wide ranging as these it doesn't provide any valid scientific backing to the arguments that we all want to make. Being barefoot definitely helped my feet: I had flat feet my...

    I just thought I would post a research paper I recently did for an English Composition course. For those that care, it is a Rogerian essay with MLA citation format. I received a 100%. Are Your Running Shoes Actually Hurting You? In the last thirty to forty years...

    Graduated Age Group in Style

    I love the picture. There you are, just relaxed as can be, and low-and-behold there behind you is a youth, the "picture of perpetual energy", looking like she is about to die.

    So...bras?

    Isn't being "Well behaved" just another way of saying "Socially reformed", and aren't all of us here about going against the social "norm". So, wouldn't it be better to be "bad";)

    Requests? Will WE Also be Required to File Requests Soon?

    So, how would you know if you had to ask for "permission" when signing up for an event (not that I ever would). I've personnally never seen a "Barefoot not Authorized without Express Permission" post on any events I've looked at, or run...have any of you?

    Does Arch Type Predict Athletic Ability?

    I still personnally believe that, at least to some extent, all things are relative and variable. Just a partial indication of the body's condition. I have been a lifelong proponate of foot bondage (odd...doesn't sound as bad stated like that, but I digress ;)) using orthodics and "supportive"...
