Running Barefoot

I spoke to a friend who had also suffered PF in both feet, and he shared advice given to him by a Chinese healer. I have shared this advice here a couple of times. Here it is:
Buy two American softballs, of the type RIF 2. This stands for Reduced Injury Factor 1. They are more […]

Greetings from Malaysia! A quick intro first: I’ve been following the discussions on the Yahoo! list since early this year - I started barefoot running in October in 2007 (with help from BFT inspired huaraches for a few months til my soles/form started to adapt) - and have found the posts truly helpful and inspiring. So thanks, everyone…

So now, let me do a bit of analyzing, formulating, evaluating, focusing, and comparing for a moment.
Today, while walking across the parking lot at work, I was thinking of the sine wave, and the circle, (forgive me, I watched a little educational TV the other day), and I realized why it is so important for […]

I’m really not sure of all the reasons why I ran my fastest […]

The willPower & grace™ program has been barefoot in gyms for over 7 years. Teaching our students to stretch their toes, increase circulation and mobility throughout their feet and ankles, and use their most intrinsic muscles to land gracefully is what we do. It just makes good sense. Now, in the wake of mainstream fitness, […]

While temps were in the mid-30s at start time, windchills were 10 to 12 degrees colder with “feel-like” temperatures around 23 degrees F. Regardless of […]
