LEADVILLE 100 - CABALLO BLANCO - PRE POST RACE INTERVIEWS

[browcr]

wow, just finished Born to Run. Great to see a video of Caballo Blanco

[guitarchitectural]

when did he start running in shoes again?

[joinmeforacupotea]

This is awesome seeing everyone from the book.

[MrUnclemuncle]

I agree with the guy who said that after reading the book, it's almost surreal to see these characters in the book come to life on screen. Read the book "Born to Run" if you want to learn how to not only run better but also be a simpler better human being!

[ede292]

The man, the myth, THE LEGEND!!!!

[quetzalamaru]

In my language, your name is "Cuay cushu", (Mixtec) from Oaxaca.

[pim1337]

This is the first time I see Caballo Blanco, the legend. He is a hero, RUN FREE

[cornsnoggle]

Great vid ted. :)

[Jessegellor2010]

great im reading born to run and happy to put a face on caballo

[Bombasaki]

Come on BFT, a video of Caballo without actually showing him run smooooth?

/sadpanda

[Barefootedleroy]

This is so surreal. I remember when I was a member of dirty sole society. Now it is Society for barefoot living. I remember barefoot Ted was getting so much flack for endorsing vibram five fingers. I took up running barefoot 3 years ago. And now I'm reading a phenomenon book born to run!

[mataleao1994]

Really cool to see you two in kinda-real-life, it's only a video but it gives an image to how you all sounded in my head in the book, Caballo living off the land and all

Ted, did he ever actually punch you? I've started barefoot running at track and xc practice because of the book, really good stuff, hopefully helps raise my arch because I'm really flat footed. Thanks for making barefoot running known.

[oldsport1808]

what did caballo run that race in? those looked like shoes to me...

[sreehill]

I got to meet him a few weeks ago, Barefoot! He was awesome! Thanks for sharing your video. :)

[TheSevenNation]

barefootted, you are amazing man! please show the world how you run!

[fleetfooted]

Awesome stuff.

[Freakforphotos]

Any one know how he's doing now? I feel very. . . I don't know, interested in his welfare, after reading Born to Run. He's like the cool uncle, y'know?

[Superfitforlife]

This is awesome...nice to really see the characters from the book born to run

[jcroucher5629]

@Superfitforlife It almost feels like a fiction book until you see photos and videos like this. Surreal.

[buddyq]

So did he ever punch you in the mouth Ted? I am just finishing up reading "Born to Run". Was he eating Penole' at the end?

[barefootted]

@buddyq - Punch? No. But I get a good hug from him now and again. Caballo is the real deal...and has a dream.

[ihateravenshield56]

@GTkeyez

I think Barefoot Ted will know who caballo blanco is.

[Shawnajosephine]

Go Caballo!

[dk12553]

hmm his face really look the same as i thought it did

like how i saw it in the book

[gkatsikaris]

Ted!!! I'm so inspired brother! You're views opened my eyes! I found the love for running again!(BAREFOOT TOO!)

[arfies]

Just finished "Born to Run," and I'm not even a runner, but loved it anyway (it reads like a novel- very well-written!) It's so surreal to see the "characters" in it in real life! Rock on, Ted (and Caballo Blanco!)

[PersistentCameron]

hehehe

[jeremyofmany]

These are really the guys from the book I am still reading? Wow.

My wife and I are going to start running this summer. I told her I am going barefoot and she should too.  We have 3 children and I told her we need to start letting our oldest (2 years) boy go barefoot in our backyard and driveway.

I work in tech support but I stand and do not sit but I do not like the job. I do not even want to work in computers anymore. I'm in a transitional state. This book and these videos rock!

[cmehmen]

this is the caballo blanco in born to run?

[Fallguycoyote]

Sweet video!

[mtharbison]

Good stuff! It is nice to see who everyone is talking about. I enjoyed all of your videos and your blog. I converted to barefoot as well.

[Pila4tes]

I always wanted to see the real Caballo Blanco after reading Born to Run.... love the "I got the blues".... vintage Caballo. Just classic.

[copperman]

Thanks Caballo for sharing your love of running and life through McDougall's Born to Run. Keep on running and inspiring.

[GTkeyez]

that is not caballo blanco

[barefootted]

Wanna bet?

[shardakar]

ROFL! Best answer ever.

[NPSurvival]

@GTkeyez You clearly don't know what you are talking about.

[Freakforphotos]

@GTkeyez  and how the hell would you know?

[WaskiBj]

yeah.. he is ugly :) but wondering why he is wearing running shoes?

[minuteman2006]

He is not wearing running shoes, they are trail sandals. And yes, he did finish the race.

[acorn9187]

Why wouldn't he wear running shoes? If you read the book, his "stance" on running is that people should run how they feel comfortable. He doesn't endorse nor disparage any style of running; he just wants people to live their lives and run free.

[toby099]

yeah he just says to run easy and light etc not anything specific

[MrOther912]

wonder what the other characters look like. billy is the one on the cover, he's ripped.

[Rioth]

google the names and you can find the pics fairly easily. jenn is a cutie! :)

[Gummbee25]

So he didnt finish the whole 100??

[radioelvis]

So cool to see you after reading the book several times! Rock on!

[Tedzing04]

That was great!

[muzzymaz]

Great Video - It is great to see Caballo after reading McDougall's book. Inspired me to run 26.2

[savannahzmomma1]

Christopher McDougal did an awesome job describing him--this is exactly the face I expected to see! Yes, what a fun, funny, fascinating, and inspiring book and cast of "characters".

[scaramoucheX]

So sorry to see the white gentleman chose to run in...shoes?!

[cinemadelica]

You guys are my HEROES. Love it!!!!!!

[pattywolford]

It's great to see Caballo on film. I just finished reading the book, Born To Run, and now I'm inspired...and this, coming from a 58n year old couch potatoe!

[DrawNachal]

DO IT MAN RUN LIKE YOUR GUNNA DIE!!!!!1

[tkduane18]

Man I love reading about you guys in the book! So funny and so inspiring. And now seeing the real deal here. You're both motivation to me in running and more. Keep it up!

[mshparber]

You guys are AMAZING!!!

[barefootted]

By the way, the soundtrack that you hear repeated ad nauseum is something I made with Apple's Soundtrack software.

BFT
