[akamairox]

Which one is arnulfo the champ?

[chaechong]

Thank you so much for your epic journey of running. The book was incredible and inspirational for me. This slide show bring things together well for me.

[asciibaron]

wow, faces to the pages - thanks BFT

[IIGIOIDILIYII]

Ted, I would just like to know what the difference is between a pair of your huaraches, and a pair from invisible shoes(dot)com?

[mexicothai]

I just finished "Born to run", what an amazing, inspiring book. It is great to see the real faces of the people I just read about in the book. Thanks for the post Ted! I am also getting into barefoot running and my Vibrams!

[skyingat]

I read the book, started running long ( 10 miles a day for two weeks) tore a calf muscle, led to tendon problem, cant seem to get over it and am in worse condition than when i started. Would love to hear from someone if tjis has happened to them and they got over it.

[breezeAngwin]

Finished reading "Born to Run". I have to say this book as inspired me to find my love to run again. In the 80's I loved running, ran in the Olympic marathon trials twice, set the women's course record for the Dipsea (still stands). Suffered burn out and now at 60 I'm running the trails again!

[paulipaulii]

i have a car accident, i start to walk again... thats my goal, barefoot :D

[shazmattack]

Awesome! What is this song?

[shazmattack]

Awesome! What is this song?

[BfeoAdmin]

I love running barefoot. The feeling is fantastic, and I feel so much lighter and agile. Unfortunately every time I've run extensively barefoot I experience anaphylactic shock. I also don't like the feel of vibrams whatsoever. Sucks for me. ='(

[maxchanuk219]

I have just finished the book Born to Run. I hope i can join this family of ultrarunner in future!

[mississabel]

wow did you see the Tarahumaras' legs. Incredible what a difference genetics and years of conditioning can do to the body.

[themaje]

I think Barefoot Ted is an idiot....and I love him.

Born To Run is as good of a read as I've had in 10 years. Thank you all: Runners, Taruhamari, authors, misfits, et al (esp Jenn Shelton!!!)--I have been transformed from a guy that negotiated 10 minutes on a treadmill to "When is my next 20 miler?"

[ATMfromNJ]

awesome! 

[proskater15]

these pics look amazing, thank you so much for bringing this story off the page. i had a completly diffirent mental image of barefoot ted.

[kittyhungshukyee]

I love you all ultrarunners. You've inspired me so much.

[mjbartonx2]

I just finished Born to Run. Truly inspirational!

[ad2894]

I found this music quite annoying the first time I heard it. I actually enjoy listening to it now! I aspire to the tarahumara! They remind us of what we must not lose our affinity with. RUNNING!

[mjspain5]

That book was simply amazing. Liberating, inspiring, the story of these misfits getting together for this nike- free ode to liberty gives you wings to fly on.

[kremebitz99]

I just read "Born To Run" and these pics are awesome. This seems to be the only place to see them.

[esswell]

Just finished reading Born To Run. Thanks for uploading these pics. Ha ha and I just noticed your profile pic, El Mono!

[ch00p]

These pictures are nothing short of gorgeous, and you guys look like you're having the time of your lives!

[fhb418]

Just finished the book. One of the most inspiring thing i've ever read. Truly.

[ejreagan]

Thanks! "Born to Run". Me too.

[JadeLightning1]

Just finished reading the book (very inspiring) . Great to see some pictures to help the imagination

[Valsainte]

Beautiful! Just listened to the audiobook in two sittings. Awesome adventure -- thanks for the pics and the inspiration!

[RawPleasureAustralia]

Wow! This is so much more beautiful than I pictured. So much more color. I had images of dry cracked earth. This is mind blowing. Thanks Ted! xx

[Justintosh]

Look at 5:59... that looks exactly like the red Dodge Ram pickup with the dark black tinted windows driven by the drug cartel people in the book...

[Fallguycoyote]

@Justintosh

It does except I think that's a Chevy S-10.

[biologyisbliss]

Congratulations on the run, man!

I'm working on my first Marathon this spring. Your story is definitely a motivation for me!

Rock on!! :)

[js12347777]

just sat 6 hours straight reading the book, its that good and exciting too. Wast there a last man standing bbc program about the Tarahumara

[jmulhall86]

just starting to read the book running is my life

[Sprongles95]

This is so great! I'm more than 3/4 through the book and am just constantly fascinated by it all. Reading about barefoot running made me think of growing up in Brazil.. pretty much everyone I knew/saw walked, ran, and played soccer barefoot.

[tamborcillo84]

Ted, love the pictures. I have a question, when interacting with the Raramuris, did you ever see any pregnant women running? I ask bc though it is encouraged that women stay active during pregnancy, running long distance might be overwhelming, well, maybe in our western mindset it is. If they do. it would be a real privilege if you posted pictures of raramuri pregnant women runners

[cwtjones]

"Born to Run" is inspiring!

Copper Canyon are beautiful!

[nosnuts]

Was that a C4P beanie I saw there at the end??? :) Looked like on...propeller and all.

[barefootted]

@nosnuts yes, it is a C4P propeller hat!

[SteelCityEndurance]

Thank you for the photos, too cool to see! Hope to go there someday maybe.

[MdsFiveOhOneFour]

that bridge at 4:10 is amazing

[liutenghou]

wow, i just finished the book by mcdougall, it's amazing to see actual photos of the setting and the characters, thank you!

[sam24jeff]

By the way, which one is Ted?

Thanks for the pictures. You guys are superheroes.

[sam24jeff]

Just bought my first "five fingers" and can't wait to hit the road.

Speaking of Philip Glass, what a perfect running partner. Very easy to find your tempo, and I find myself floating after six to eight miles and the dopamines have kicked in.

[jhobbz45]

I can hardly believe what the Raramuri wear for shoes. I'd be scared to try but obviously it works well for them.

[deusXmchina]

Gracias por compartir a señor El Mono.

[bwarrior4]

I Just got done with Born To Run-great read. I found myself asking "is this really a true story?" Anyway, it's super to see everyone en vive. Vive la tarahumara! Quiero visitar algun dia.

[hunan117]

get danny dreyer's "ChiRunning" and "Born To Run"

[Hamasi]

Songs From Liquid Days.

[Maddancer18]

How can I learn the running technique? It seems that in addition to the huaraches, you must learn to lean forward while running and quickly slap your feet on the ground as you fall forward (?)

[jonnham]

I can't do 1k

[angelrph]

viva chihuahua im from chihuahua , i love my state
