I'm a UK member but moved to NZ over 2 years ago. I'm in UK briefly in a couple of days time and hope to so the Bournemouth park run on Sat 16th March. I'm also seeing a researcher in Leeds who is interested in the benefits of barefoot running so I hope to have more tails to tell.
Pete Francis at Leeds Beckett university. His research comparing NZ students who exercise barefoot with those who do not made national news here last year.
