I don't think I'd ever go to
I don't think I'd ever go to a coach on anything who didn't do what they were coaching. They wouldn't have to be super fantastic, a good portion of that is genetic, but I would expect some level of participation in the field. As far as a barefoot coach I wouldn't say I'd require them to be a full time barefooter, or even a full time barefoot runner, just lots of experience both doing it and working with people who did it. Then again I'm not sure I understand the concept of going to a barefoot running coach anyway. Isn't the point of it that it is basically supposed to be the natural healthy thing to do. I can see the need for bits and pieces of advice about certain things, but with the books and BRS forumns why would someone really need to go to a coach specifically designed for barefoot? (that is actually a real question not a rhetorrical one, I'm curious) I guess I can still see the want for a running coach if you are trying to make improvements, but why a barefoot specific one as opposed to a barefoot accepting one?
