Great advice about barefoot running

There is plenty of ‘advice’, about barefoot running now. Whilst it is easy to find, it is very hard to sort out the good from the bad, and hence, what is a sensible approach to barefoot running. A very large portion of the directives fail in one vital aspect: the fact that we are all different.

Our survey is clearly telling us that there is a huge variation in the success or otherwise that runners are having when they try barefoot.

So, it is very refreshing to find a balanced and sensible article on the subject from Ross Tucker in the Guardian: Barefoot Running: an overview of the science.
