I wrote a poem about barefoot running last year (http://parlancer.blogspot.com/2009/04/poetry-barefoot.html) that includes a link to a similar article. <br /><br />Sadly, I haven't been running for a long while now. I discovered I have asthma (http://parlancer.blogspot.com/2009/03/fitness-file-perspective.html). To stay in shape now, I've done fencing off and on for years (http://parlancer.blogspot.com/2008/09/fitness-file-fencing.html), and I also go for long walks, hike, and practice yoga.Cherihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12879237630925649165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3898764086325769645.post-27856928107744876192010-06-08T07:50:32.113-07:002010-06-08T07:50:32.113-07:00Have you ever tried running barefoot? It will prob...Have you ever tried running barefoot? It will probably get rid of your shin splins and even make your arches perk up. It takes time and you have to start very *gradually*, but it may be worth it. Modern running shoes are like casts. Put your arm in a cast for a few weeks and muscles, tendons and ligament will atrophy. Read the book "Born to Run" by McDougal, and then point your browser to http://therunningbarefoot.com/?page_id=455, and http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/RunningBarefoot/, and http://www.runnersworld.com/community/forums/runner-communities/barefoot-running.<br />Happy training!
