There's something that's been bugging me. It's gotten especially strong since I've been working on the BRS Library and have read article after article about something called "barefoot running."
The weird thing about "barefoot running" in the media is that it frequently means running in shoes. Case in point: do a google image search on the phrase "barefoot running" and most of the pictures that pop up are of VFFs!
As Will Ferrell says in Zoolander, "I feel like I'm taking crazy pills!"
Now I don't think there's anything wrong with wearing shoes (or whatever you want; you can wear pontoons if that works for you) when running. In fact I just ordered a pair of minimal shoes.
But IMHO there is a MAJOR difference between wearing any shoes and actually running barefoot.
In your opinion, is this equation (barefoot="VFF") something that needs to be debunked? Yes or no, and why?
