Thats why I use the treadmill or run on the beach

Experts said that man would never fly

Name me one of those "experts"...

Come run on the beach in MI right now. Have fun with the cuts on your feet from ice and aforementioned frostbite. If it's a choice between logging 1+ hour runs on a TM barefoot or on the road with evil shoes I will take my chances with the shoes.

yea, I'm sure MI sucks at the moment. Yet the TM is a much better strength training opportunity for your feet than level ground running in shoes will ever be. If you want to be a faster runner (that 20% you're capable of) then strength training for the feet is a critical component

Yeah...ok. Wanna buy me a TM. I have a feeling the local gym has rules about barefoot running. Plus that pesky 1 hour shut-off on the TMs and a 20-30 minute limit if it's busy. I'd be more than 20% better/faster/stronger if I dropped 20#s...oh, and if I could be cured of my pesky asthma. I could give a rat's ass about the rest at the moment.

No, I don't buy people TM's. Craigslist sells them cheap.However, I can get you to running heart rate at a walking pace at a 15% incline. Your running heart rate will be the results of strength needs of your legs rather than for repetition of firing which is all running is. You can also wear aqua socks, or other sock style foot coverings. Ask your gym what they consider minimum requirements

And what do you have against the shoe?
usually the bottom of my foot and my toes.

Quite a roll you're on this thread Smile

The biological question is how to reduce the impact forces your body absorbs with each step you take. The higher the impact force, the quicker you'll need surgery.

Internal combustion baby, that's the secret to reducing impact stress.

Surgery? For what? Where is your data on running injury rates? Underpowered studies published in obscure journals that happen to be Pubmed indexed anyway don't count.

google "running injury" and you'll get far more websites to answer the question for you

plants, shmants, those will injure your mouth and esophagus. For thousands of years humans ate animals. You want to eat 20% more, the 20% more you're capable of? Eat animals. I've coached world class eaters, and everyone can eat 20% more, if they loose the shackles.

You could, but a lot of mouth injuries come from that. You can eat more than 20% more if you leave out the roll.
