  1. Barefoot Bayou Runner

    Mileage Reporting 17th Week 2013

    Ran a 5.5 mile (well ran 5 and walked about 0.5) around LSU lakes today. Mixture of cement, grass, dirt, and the typical Louisiana asphaltic surface (think lava rocks). Would have probably been able to run the whole thing if not for the asphalt sections. That is definitely my longest barefoot...

    Mileage Reporting 16th Week of 2013

    I'm being careful not to push myself too hard, I've been doing barefoot running around the neighborhood off and on the past year, it was just never more than 1-2 miles at a time. I've kept an eye on my recovery time needed (for my soles), and it has gone from about 2 weeks down to around 5 days...

    Mileage Reporting 16th Week of 2013

    Did a 3.1 mile run at the beginning of the week, it was my first attempt at running that far bf. Was pretty satisfied with my effort, actually got right under 7:00 pace which I did not expect. I think that without some of the rough sections in my neighborhood I would be able to approach my shod...

    Before and After - Progress

    I didn't see "fast barefoot runner" in there lol. That's the answer I'd have picked. If I can bring my bf speed up to what it is with my sandals, then I'm happy. And at this point I'm pretty close to doing that. But I fully intend to stick w/ bf for the most part. It's just that I'm still in...

    Before and After - Progress

    Before I start with this thread, let me be clear: I did not start running barefoot to run faster; I did it to run better. Now having said that, I'm still young enough to enjoy running for it's competitive aspect. When I race, most of the time I am trying to win or place in my AG in the smaller...

    Bonjour from the Red Stick

    Thanks for the welcome guys. I am trying to do it gradually, and I've found that I'm at the point where my biggest hindrance (at least for < or = to 5K) is the toughness of my feet. I don't seem to have an issue off pavement (my sandals broke with 2 miles to go in my last trail 10K, and I had...

    Bonjour from the Red Stick

    Actually, a little outside of Baton Rouge. Growing up in south Louisiana, I've been a barefoot person all my life. From childhood to adulthood, if I could kick my shoes off, I did. But only fairly recently did I start trying to run that way. I've been through all sorts of shoes, from the "I...
