I’m starting to think about MdS as a restful vacation with a bit running thrown in. I’m not underestimating the desert...
A link for you
LizaHello folks. I failed at fending off the onslaught of 4 year-old borne germs and I am sick. Not wildly sick. Just sit in a bathrobe at the dining room table while sipping on hot tea and not accomplishing much of anything sick. I have been doing some reading so I will share this awesome link with you from the people at The Science of Sport titled “Thoughts from the Barefoot running round-table discussion at UKSEM: An inside view.” The debate was moderated by Dr. Ross Tucker and the people at the table included:
- “Prof Daniel Howell, an anatomy professor from Liberty (USA), known as the “barefoot professor”
- Simon Barthold, who formerly worked as a podiatrist but who now works in biomechanics and is Asics global research consultant
- Prof Benno Nigg, one of the world’s leading biomechanists
- Dr Mathias Marquard, a clinician and running coach (who would go on to become the voice of reason in many of the more hostile aspects of the debate, as I’ll describe!)
- Prof Daniel Lieberman, evolutionary biologist from Harvard, who as you may know, recently published the Nature studies looking at how habitually shod and barefoot runners differ, and who wrote a key paper on how humans are adapted (skeletally and physiologically) to run long distances”

Wish you were running the NF 50 miler in SF. Why did you decide not to?

Thanks David. 🙂
Javelina needed a lot more recovery time than I’d hoped it would. My body’s just not up to running ultras every month yet. That, and the running bank account is well beyond empty. I would love to be there though. Hopefully next year. Are you running?
