Great seeing you do the fast run. Very compact and while it doesn't have all the butt-kick of a shod world class sprinter, it's the best I've seen so far barefoot. I have a long way to go to get to that kind of pace! That looks like chip seal you're running on. Feet must really be built up.

Why don't you look like a kenyan runner? I don't get it.

This is among the most helpful BFR form videos I have seen. I learned a lot at the Grand Rapids workshop.

Your 6-8 minute pace you were fucken sprinting. More like 4 minute pace.

@467076 Hah, yeah right, he wishes. It looks like about a 6:30 pace, though I believe he is practically sprinting. Look at his very short stride and follow-through, and poor arm movement. His arms are moving to the side,. Look at the footstrike at the slower paces -- he lands with the foot well ahead of his center of mass, when it should be right below it. At slower paces his arms aren't moving at all, instead with a twisting of the shoulders and torso. I am not impressed.

IMO i think you should be lifting your foot, because in this video, it looks like you're pushing instead of lifting.

Weird barefoot running form to me. Not exactly pretty but it guess it works for you given your experience.

[RockabillyDollface]

I love barefoot running! Go barefoot bohemians!

[bsg1206]

Are you rolling out to the sides? I do that too but I'm not sure if that is what I should be doing.

@bsg1206 It looks like he's landing on the front outerside of the foot, and rolling in to the arch. The arch is a natural shock absorber, and it makes sense to have the majority of the weight born by the unsupported arch.

Thank you for this. I've been trying to work on my barefooting form and this is very helpful.

Barefoot running rocks!! I enjoyed the slow motion breakdown of each pace. Thanks for posting!
