Andy- I already have a copy
Andy- I already have a copy reserved for you. ;-)
Greg- yes... a lot of the ideas were forged in the conversations from Runners World last summer. The original "Lose the Shoes" plan posted on the sticky over there was the backbone to the first edition. The second edition contains all that text with minor editing, plus added sections on:
- Diet
- Hydration
- Spouses
- Ultras
- A completely revised cross training section
- A 5k, 10k, half-marathon, and marathon training plan
- Pictures
- updated "injuries" section
- Running on treadmills
- Iskiate (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic)
- How to deal with bad runs
- Running with others
- Barefoot runners you should know
- Contributions from many people in the field, including Rick, Ted, Ken Bob, Dr. Lieberman, Dr. Nirenburg, Dr. Froncioni, Dr. Scott Hadley, Al Gauthier and Tina DuBois of Living Barefoot, Runswithpit, TJ, Tuck from Ted's Google group, UrbanSage, Dama, and several others
It expanded from 61 pages to about 180 pages. I maintained the simplicity of the original, but added a lot of general running tips and specific barefoot tips. Best of all- I maintained the same $14.95 price.
For those of you that bough the first- this version is much better, but doesn't contain too much info you don't already know. If you bought the first, your money would be better spent buying Sandler's book or Daniel Howell's excellent "The Barefoot Book".
The first edition will not be continued... there were 1,700 printed.
Nate- yes, this is the version I will be sending you as soon as I get them back. I have a much more ambitious marketing plan for this one. If anyone has a blog or website and is interested in an affiliate program, it is something I am considering. If you are interested, shoot me an email at robillardj "at" gmail "dot" com.
