I was excited to be handed a copy of the May/June issue of Michigan Runner magazine this morning. On the cover was a headline about barefoot running.
Inside was a well written review of Born to Run, followed by another columnist that wansn't so hot on the book.
What caught my attention was a full page article entitle barefoot-running movement gaining momentum.
The one barefooter the author claims is one of a very few in Michigan, only trains one or two days a week barefoot, to work on his form. Otherwise, he does his running in shoes, which is typical of most barefooters. They only use it as a training technique.
The author was considerring trying bf training, but was going to do it at a local highschool athletic field where he could run on the soft turf.
I haven't been able to find the article online, but if anyone does, it's worth reading, just to see what kind of myths exist.
