  1. New May Runner World has article about southern
    California guy who has been running marathons
    and ultras for 18 years without shoes.

    Interesting, but I wouldnt reommend this way.

  2. I wouldn't "reommend" reading an idiot's post either, but I did.

  3. Maybe he just does with his shoes, like you do with your underwear
    Rick, and turns them inside-out to get a few more weeks?

  4. What did the African boys ran on before free Nikes stc? They ran
    bare-footed is my guess.

    Suspect they try not to land on sharp rocks and pebbles.

  5. What did the African boys ran on before free Nikes stc? They ran

  6. The guy mentions two serious cuts in his 18 years of
    running barefoot. One was from glass, the other from rock.
    Your soles become leatherly after months of being barefoot.
    Humans ran barefoot for millions of years before shoe
    protection.
    I still dont recommend it.

  7. Yes, never turning back. In days of old, at least people can choose not
    to run except when chasing or chased during hunting. Fravediggers's
    hands had no alternative before invention of gloves.

  8. I also met a few European mountain climbers hiking to Half-Dome, in
    Yosemite National Park, bare footed and a load of ropes and wares on
    their backs. I was young then and my feet still preferred to land horse
    dung patches in my New Balance shoes.

    For fast runners, why waste the kinetic, friction and reactive forces
    through the socks and shoes?
