Your running story and how you got to these shoes is very similar to mine.

Do you have access to the actual paper published by Dr. Lieberman?

Ted,

Good to hear from you – hope the running is going well. I’m drooling all
over that study – even addressed it a bit in a podcast episode:

Yes, I have become a podcaster!

You are absolutely correct to emphasise the need to take it really slow when transitioning to BF / minimalist running. Although I have regularly walked barefoot for about 7 years, running is a whole different thing and it takes time (a) for muscles to adapt (especially the calves), and (b) for good form to develop so that you don’t get hurt. The benefit of running barefoot in this regard, as opposed to using even minimalist footwear, is that your body will tell you to stop before you do any serious damage, because there is nothing to cushion you and give you the false impression that you are not doing any damage. Once you have good barefoot form, it is easier then to transition it to minimalist footwear.

Daniel,

Thanks – that’s why I mentioned your name at the end! We do share a very
similar philosophy I think. I don’t have the paper yet, but am going to head
over to the library and see if it has arrived. You interested in a PDF?

Pete
