It was way more challenging than I expected, and I expected it to be a big challenge. (Barefoot running) for me isn't an exercise in pain tolerance.

Pretty amazing mountain climb. In the article, Tom Reuter says he uses a breathing technique from Wim Hof. Like him, I'm also a kind of Wim Hof fan. I know our Finnish colleague Hannu Mieskolanian also mentioned his being a Wim Hof Fan. Wim Hof and those he's trained are getting quite a bit of press lately. I saw the ad for this book by a student of Wim's in Men's Fitness and looked at the previews. Seems to mention a lot about being barefoot in the winter. It's called "What Doesn't Kill Us" by Scott Carney, and Wim Hof wrote the forward.
Anyone else been reading it?
