And I'm not talking about myself. If you were to train like me, you could become a poor barefoot runner in just over 3 years.
However, there is a very well accomplished barefoot runner who started up barefoot running earlier this year. If you haven't heard of him, his name is Todd Ragsdale, and he's a member of the Oregon Chapter of the BRS.
What has he done?
And here's an article about his 102 mile run: http://www.myfoxla.com/dpps/news/todd-ragsdale-runs-102-miles-barefoot-dpgoha-20100610-fc_8007819
And the following video is on his Youtube chanel and talks about his practice of marching barefoot in a bucket of gravel. Check out the "real" gravel later in the video. If anyone has tough feet, he has them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_24-oCx1lek
Todd -- Thanks for sharing some of your training secrets and also showing us what is possible.
