hey el mono. im currently readin born to run (almost done unfortunately) and just wanna say that you are a genius!! i always feel freer when im running barefoot, even tho its only running around durin the summer so i found it unbelievable that it is the best way to run, dunno if it can be done here in ireland though, becasue of the cold and the lack of trails that would hurt your feet but i suppose i could use the many many fields we have!! one of the main reasons i like the idea of barefoot runnin is because it gets you off your heels, which until very lately i have been doin which this summer has led to me having a lot of pain in my heels but its improving since iv gotten off my heels!! thanks man u rock!!!

great channel ...respect

Hi, Ted! Just got finished "Born To Run"...gotta say, you're one memorable character! Thanks for the inspiration. I'd been running in Vibrams for a few months before reading the book, and I'm never going back if I can help it...best thing I've ever done for my feet (and probably, by extension, my whole body)! Hope to see more of your videos. :-)

You're the man barefoot Ted. I'm never wearing running shoes again.

The ancients had it right all along.

Hey Ted, am... nice to find your channel and be able to talk to you so easily, god I love the internet, heard of you a while back through my investigatiojn into barefoot movement. Then I read "the book", you know which book :P was cool to hear of you in it.
Im more of a Parkour enthusiast (Traceur) then an all out distance runner but I just love efficient movement in general or in any form. If anyone evr asks does Barefoot work for Parkour too, tell them, YES from me hehe.

Anyhow, hope your keeping well and still putting up the enjoyable miles, peace out bro, and greetings from Ireland, Daz

I have been running for a year, got the five fingers, then quickly got a stress fracture. ha! I don't blame the shoes, I blame my form. I'm starting over now that I'm healed.

I just bought the Five Fingers and have just come back from the first enjoyable run of my entire adult life. Thanks to you for being a crazy man and thanks to Mr. McDougall for writing a thoroughly enjoyable book. Keep on keepin on man

Hello sir! I started running a few months ago and went from .5 (I know...) miles to 5 miles a day which is pretty good, I guess. I agree that barefoot running is ideal. In fact, i'm going barefoot more and more often now and i've found that because of it, my runs are a lot more enjoyable. I hope to achieve the mileage you're doing some day. Adios.

much respect. i respect that you respect my people. thank you.
