Hi everyone. My name is Tim and I started barefoot running probably close to a month ago now. Before that I've been running for just over a year and I've been plagued with recurring knee injuries. After reading Born to Run and doing tons of reading on the net, I decided I didn't have anything to lose by trying BF running. I did a little experiment and filmed myself running on our treadmill, first with shoes and then without. I was surprised at how much of a heel striker I was in shoes. But barefoot my feet contacted the ground much flatter. So since then I've been running laps of my local football field. So far I'm up to 3km with no sign of knee injuries. My goal is to build back up to where I was when I ran shod (10km) and then go from there
