    Barefoot on the Beach - any tips?

    Even hard sand can allow you to use bad form where asphalt and concrete are not as forgiving. Grass is the same thing. I would spend time learning to run on asphalt and concrete and then run on the beach as a treat. Barefoot Bob Saxton wrote about this in his book and I have to say I would agree...

    Wet Roads

    Okay, I've been barefoot running for a few years now. Furthest run has been 10 miles, but I'm pretty sure I could do a half marathon without ill effect. My question has to do with wet roads. I find them to be uncomfortable. I thought they would be okay after a couple of miles in 34 degree...

    Bone Density In Barefoot Runners

    Any research on bone density in barefoot runners? I went to a health screening yesterday sponsored by the local running shoe store. They had a bone density device there I have never seen before. Something that measured sound waves through the malleous and came up with a "T-score." My value came...

    Barefoot Running Hats

    I'm thinking of embroidering some hats for barefoot runners. Need some advice on what type of hat you like the most (trucker's mesh or FlexFit), and what words if any you would like to see on the hat. The ideas I had where a barefoot with "You Forgot Your Shoes" or "Doesn't That Hurt"...

    the elusive form

    I would agree with not overthinking form. I've been dong BF running for about 4 years, but I have to restart every spring because of the cold winters here. My biggest problem was stubbed toes. Running shod allows bad form and I found that I was not lifting my feet enough. The mental imagery of...

    Barefoot Running Apparel

    I checked with the manufacturer about patches. It requires laser cutting options that are too pricey for me. I think you had better seek someone with this equipment TJ.

    What I hate about spring

    I hear you. After four years and retraining every spring you would think I would remember how to do this. Nope. Toes are stubbed and calves are sore!

    Southbound

    I am so enjoying this book about two sisters who hiked a good portion of the AT barefoot. I've only read 75 pages but like reading, "I marveled at how quickly I had become accustomed to walking barefoot with a pack. My feet wrapped themselves around roots and rocks, and I easily shifted my...

    What was YOUR experience of minimalist running?

    I like Vibrams when I'm on a boat. For running they take too long to put on.
