    Getting back into the game... again.

    Thanks TJ! As far as I can tell, this area of CO is virgin barefoot running territory. I'm not likely going to get over to the other side of the Rockies (Front Range) any time soon; I'm much more interested in getting something going on the Western side.

    Getting back into the game... again.

    Hey all, long time, no... post? Anyway, I've finally moved out of Hep C central (East County, San Diego) and to majestic Colorado. I've been getting back into running after about a seven year hiatus, with the goal of eventually getting back to running the occasional ultra with plenty of...

    So how does this barefoot running thing work?

    Thanks Tristan! Remind people they can find a version online for free with a little searching. The basics of barefooting is too valuable to not be accessible to everyone, and I'm doing fine. Pirate away.

    So how does this barefoot running thing work?

    Haha, yeah, just poking my head in to say hi. I've had a handful of my training partners (bjj) show some interest in improving their running form, which led to the BRS nostalgia. I miss y'all. :)

    So how does this barefoot running thing work?

    Hey, I'm intrigued by this whole barefoot running thing, but it doesn't even seem possible. Where do I start?!?

    Ninety percent off Jason's new book? What?!?

    Because I love spamming... ;) Seriously though, I'm only posting this here because the ideas in my new relationship book have really resonated with my barefoot running friends that have already read it probably because of openness to outside-the-box ideas. At any rate, the Kindle ebook version...

    Hey all... I'm not dead!

    Hey all, I know it's rare (or even nonexistent) to see obnoxious dogma here, but it has existed and left a negative impression on folks. Maybe it was the SBL guys. :-) I'm hoping to check in a little more, but I've been immersed in various projects that are taking far more time than they...

    Hey all... I'm not dead!

    Hey guys, just wanted to drop in and say hi and give everyone a friendly reminder. I'm currently not doing any sort of barefoot running-related clinics mostly because I needed a break and got hooked on a new hobby. I'm still doing very limited wok with friends that seek advice and have been...

    Minimalist Running Panel Discussion

    This post seriously saddens me. LB, the comments about Farra were extremely douchey.

    Sad news

    Hey all, I know I've been MIA for a very long time, but this news may be relevant to some of you that were around back in the RWOL days. Matthew Courtright, who participated in a few of our discussions back in the day, died in an work-related accident today. He was a Michigan native that...

    Spamming for my new book

    The edited ebook version should be much better, Chase. I'm aiming for next week. It adds another 25-30 pages and should have a little more logic behind the organization. I'll forward that one, too. BTW- if anyone wants to check it out, bug Chaser to forward the file. ;-)

    Spamming for my new book

    Hey all, just wanted you to know I'm not dead... just taking some time away from the running scene. It gave me a chance to finish my trail and ultra book. You can buy it via this link or get it for free from someone that already bought it. It's a new distribution method I'm testing...

    Does “Lifting the Foot” Make Us Slower?

    Does “Lifting the Foot” Make Us Slower? By Jason Robillard I conducted a clinic this weekend in conjunction with Dr. Mark Cucuzzella at Two Rivers Treads, his minimalist shoe store in Shepherdstown, West Virginia. I like events like this because it gives me the opportunity to learn along with...

    Road rage

    I run trails for this very reason. When I do run roads, I almost always run against traffic as Patrick mentioned.

    Are barefoot runners inherently crazy?

    This list pretty much sums up my observations. ;)

    Are barefoot runners inherently crazy?

    I'm experimenting with Hokas. I really needed that reassurance. :)

    The Running Form Thread

    But you're an experienced runner that's been trained by professional coaches. I bet most of us are capable of maintaining consistent and efficient technique at a variety of paces. The question is handling new runners... do we focus on learning technique at one specific pace, then generalizing...

    The Running Form Thread

    I think it's a mistake to automatically begin teaching running form when running slow. Start by having a person run at a variety of paces, then ask which feels the best. Odds are good that their form at that pace will be very good. Work up and down from there. So yes, I agree with your premise, Lee.

    Are barefoot runners inherently crazy?

    I prefer to have full use of my hands... most of the time.
