That Man McDougall Again

And here's a video about the Taramuhara Indians and the Copper Canyon ultramarathon...

Fascinating to see El Caballo Blanco, a semi-mythical character from Born to Run, on screen. I guess he is real after all.

Interesting article Dan, one which underlines the message that we're all that fabled experiment of one. Outcomes are different depending on attitude, technical ability and application of the correct barefoot running style. It's not a panacea but certainly worth exploring for those of us who continually damage our bodies running in the 'usual' way. In truth I don't run barefoot that often but I do use the techniques on longer runs to vary my gait and posture. This helps avoid injury and back pain (something I always used to suffer from on longer runs). But BF is certainly not for everyone. People go at it too hard - too much too soon. That can cause bruising to the feet and put you off for life. Others run barefoot but don't change their style, again a painful and short-lived experiement.
