Some of you may be interested to hear this... (good for BF promotion anyway)...
A well know UK comedian, Eddy Izzard who went from no running to a modest amount over something like a few months and then almost straight on to 43 marathons in 51 days is now going barefoot. The original 43 marathons thing was shown on TV and raised a lot of money for charities. Talk of risking TMTS but he made it (but was trailed by some medical folks to assist)! I don't know how far he's managed with BF yet and I'm not sure if he has any more plans that will use his running on telly etc. but you can hear the confirmation of this on the following link. He starts talking about running during an interview on the BBC Radio 1 Chris Moyles show at about 1H44' in (on the link) and talks about barefoot some time around 2 - 3 minutes later. I think this link starts at about 1H35' or there abouts so you won't have to fast forward if you can't be bothered.
He is briefly asked why he's going BF along with typical questions I gather some of you get going BF! I think he basically says something along the lines of it being the natural way.
Listen here. Go Eddy!
