The Naked Truth About Barefoot Running - Runner's World UK April 2010 (8 Comments)
If you're a regular reader of Runner's World in the UK, you'll probably have noticed an article in last month's (April - why do magazines come out a month earlier than they're dated?) edition titled "The Naked Truth About Barefoot Running" in which I've been quoted. Whilst it's great to see barefoot running getting an article in Runner's World, I can't say I'm too impressed with the overall slant of the article nor some of the points and quotes made.

The Painful Truth About Trainers
There's a great article on the Daily Mail site about running barefoot: The painful truth about trainers: Are running shoes a waste of money?. Well worth a read and certainly substantiates my decision to move away from expensive "useless" shoes to running barefoot.
Athletic Footwear and Running Injuries
A good article on the correlation of running injuries and the super-dooper high tech shoes on the market.
Athletic Footwear and Running Injuries
Everything you and I always believed about running shoes and running injuries may be wrong! Here's the scoop: The modern running shoe itself may be the major cause of running injuries! Stated another way, the modern running shoe, presently thought of a protective device, should be reclassified as a "health hazard".
It's a couple of years old, but still some useful and valid information here.
