Barefoot running videos

I thought some of you might be interested in these two videos.

  1. So, who wants to run Ragnar barefoot?!

    I'd like to get video of myself running with shoes/ without shoes and see what changes. I definitely land on my forefoot when barefoot, my heel in shoes.

    Thanks for the links.

  2. I run barefoot about twice a week...and I really like it. I am planning on getting some of those 5 fingers and I might wear those during Ragnar. Roadrunner sports has the equipment to shoot vid of your foot strike. I'll go with you, Rebecca!

  3. I will stick to my shoes. I like to squish spiders when I run and bare foot running would take away all my confidence!

  4. I ran this morning with shoes, but I had those videos on my mind the whole time. I learned that I generally strike pretty hard on my heels, and that consciously striking closer to the ball of the foot is much quieter. Kind of cool!
