ABC News: Barefoot Running Video
Saturday, August 23, 2008
Hurricane Fay was supposed to be hitting us all day today, but there was no bad weather. There was a touch of wind and rain last night, but nothing worth mentioning.
So, I decided to hit the road at around 12:00pm and go for a 12 mile long run. It was very humid out and I did great until the last 2 miles when I was really starting to fade. The humidity was killing me. My back is doing fine, and I am pleasantly fatigued. The Vibram Sprints gave a little chaffing on my left foot due to the friction caused by the moisture.
So here is the ABC news spcial on Barefoot running, featuring the guru Ken Bob Saxton. He is my favorite dude. I remember finding his website when I first decided to try barefoot running. It was a great time in my life deciding to embrace the rebellion against the shoe makers. I had a hard time finding the video when I searched for it, so I decided to post it to maybe make it avaiable to watch. I like this report because it gives some real scientific evidence and explanations.
