I have to say, at $80 for 24 hours running its incredibly good value!

It certainly is - way better value than the NYC marathon at about $10 per mile!!!
Good luck!

Impressive stuff. Is that two world records in a year?

Three if this one is accepted, but keeping perspective on the fact theres still a long way to go to close the gap on the shod records which are the benchmark. On the plus side the barefoot records have been making leaps and bounds, whilst the shod records were set over a decade ago, and Yiannis reckons his will stand for centuries! Seriously though I hope to see more barefooters having a crack at these, or shod ultrarunners ditching their shoes to try and prove a point. I realize this isn't the only angle from which to attack the subject of barefoot-ism, but it's an important one and one which I hope will go some way to compensating for the fact that there's probably not going to be any decent studies on barefoot ability since it doesn't result in something you can sell at the end of it.
