Some Interesting Barefoot Resources

I just wanted to share a few websites I've found when poking around the web learning more about barefoot running.

  • therunningbarefoot.com - A great resource. There's a huge community here to teach you mostly everything about barefoot running. Some of the articles/comments are a bit over the top in my opinion, so just be prepared to take some of it with a grain of salt.
  • Barefoot Ted's Adventures - Ted was one of the people that went down to run with the Raramuri Indians in Christopher McDougall's "Born to Run." He seems to me a bit overly interested in turning a dime on the whole barefoot running thing, but still has lots of good stuff to say.
  • www.runningbarefootisbad.com - You've got to read both sides of the issue. Based on my personal experiences, I think there's significant merit to the barefoot running movement. But I realize that I could be wrong. I recommend keeping an open mind all the time.

Also, here's a cool vid about the Raramuri Indians.
