And The Barefoot Running Debate Continues

The discussion about barefoot running is ongoing with many different opinions being continually expressed. In my opinion, there is no clear cut right or wrong as the differences between every runner is so large. However it is worth noting that even the barefoot fans are not generally volume runners; I don't know of many people running 100+ km per week barefoot. Therefore, it may be that a combination is ideal.

Anyway, rather than rabbit on for hours about it, I thought I would refer through to a recent post at The Science of Sport blog. Check it out here.

Have you read "Born to Run" by Christopher McDougall? There is some pretty compelling discussion in there about the benefits of running barefoot, and more particularly the lack of evidence of any benefits of wearing running shoes. I know of many runners who have started doing some grass running each week to supplement their training, anything to stay healthy!
