A well known Australian physiotherapist showed me a funny website today. Funny peculiar more than funny ha,ha I guess. It is called runningbarefootisbad(.com)
I spent about half an hour reading what the guy had to say, and the I realised all he had to say was that running barefoot is bad. No worries. Wear shoes, be happy I guess would be my advice to him.
There is no one group with a monopoly on defensiveness, negativity or tunnel vision. I think it was Gladstone who said all news is biased. All we have is our opinions to share with an open mind. I love running, my Vibram FiveFingers work for me and help me get the most out of my training. I know great runners/friends who swear by those Salomon trail running shoes. Not my bag but they look cool though. So what! Anyone ready to invest so much negativity normally has an agenda. The (anonymous) writer on the anti-barefoot site says he has no affiliations to shoe manufacturers. No alterior motives then.. except for the online running shoe store that is part of the site. Nice work!
Kidding apart I just hope the (anonymous) guy wakes up to himself, gives up the barefoot bashing and goes out for a nice stress free run (in whatever you want, Brooks Beast and a wetsuit for all I care!).. Running is fun. I love it, that's the point. Max
