The Why's and How To's of Barefoot Running

The human foot is an amazing shock absorber and the idea of running barefoot isn't crazy if you want to run faster. A stronger, more supple foot and ankle will allow a runner to race faster. In my search to find a way to strengthen my feet to withstand the rigors of running ultra marathons I came to barefoot running over four years ago. I started slow running barefoot for 5mins every other day and built up to being able to run 90mins straight over a period of two years.

Testimonials

"I wanted to thank you for your help earlier in the year with my IT Band injury. I finished the Sinister 7 and Deathrace this year healthy with no IT Band issues. I actually believe the second leg I completed in the Sinister 7 pushed my glute medius into finally working properly. I really believe the workouts you provided me made the difference this year and I wanted to thank you. To be honest, I didn’t know or necessarily believe I’d be alright after the Deathrace since for the last two years it’s signalled the end of the season for me. Now, I’m in uncharted waters. I haven’t been this healthy since 2006. I want to go after my Boston Marathon Qualifying time."
