Some Frequently asked questions, if you have any other questions please ask them via twitter.
Question? Are their people who should not be barefoot running? I answer that, sure their
are, click here, their is good information here from Fit day,
about who should not be barefoot running, I think they have covered all you need to
know Question, Some runners run through pain, what
do you feel about that when barefoot running ? Answer I don't think that it's a good
idea, pain is a warning sign, I am not just talking about aches etc,. but pain is saying
go easy, listen to your body, better to go slow,
if you need a break take it, to injure yourself will not help your barefoot running career.
Question, Does running barefoot result in thicker soles over time, Answer, I have been
barefoot running for about 8 years four or five
times a week, and in the summer most days, and my soles are not what you would say are
thicker, but they are very tough and pliable, and are able to resist most stuff I run over.
I do not have any thick calluses. Question? What about things like rocks or
glass? Well I answer that part of barefoot running is the focus that is required. You
continually watch the ground as you run, it does take
concentration but it does become much easier to do. Anything that can cause your feet problems,
including rocks or glass can be seen and avoided. In my years barefoot running I have only had
three incidents. One thorn and two bits of glass. Both of the glass incidents were my
fault. Glass normally lays flat, if it is a really big bit, no problem you can easily
see it. The problem is with sharp slivers, that can penetrate
your feet. The good news is, they have to be upright to penetrate your feet, which is
very unlikely, The incidents for me where when I was running
in rain on rough terrain and I did not see the slivers. But it was easily resolved, my
daughter pulled them out with tweezers and all was
fine. Barefoot Running is electro medicine,
Science thinks this could be the most important health and fitness breakthrough in decades,
