all these barefoot runners are idiots. if we were meant to run barefoot we would have been born without shoes.

@secteriat: thats funny, cause isnt everyone born with a pair of sambas on? i heard that in brazil, babies are born with soccer balls attached to their feet. and i heard that in japan, ninjas are born with claws... oh ya, and i heard that there was a person, who breeded with a cheetah, and the fastest person ever was born. lmao!!!!!!

@Mrsneosporin47 He's being sarcastic friend. Think before you say certain things.

@ilbuoncesco Clothing doesn't inhibit the way our arms, legs, etc., move. Shoes ARE bad because they prevent the foot from moving the way it evolved to move. We cook food to kill off pathogens, something HEALTHY. Sleeping in a soft cushy bed is actually unhealthy and very bad for your back. And our bodies are wonderfully adaptive to stimulus. Doesn't it make more sense to allow the body to adapt to running on flat surfaces than to entomb the foot in a hard case that prevents natural movement?

@ilbuoncesco thick overly supportive shoes are what is bad. They create heel striking - which is bad and not good for the body. stiff non-flexible shoes inhibit proper movement and use of the feet.

guys I like to run with minimal shoes, but the point is: shoes are not that bad!! ok we were born naked, but we use clothes!! We sleep on a bed and not on the floor. We cook food, etc.

I think the problem with shoes is just that people with really not much training run a lot too quickly and they get easely injured. Yes it is true, we were meant to run barefoot, but not on concrete!!

So run barefoot, but don't say shoes are just bad. Shoes with poor tecnique and poor training are bad!

May just be me, his shorts are a tad too short.

with those small ass strides he cant be going that fast....

My opinion, most of the video he is around 7:00 pace. Perhaps a bit faster or slower at times, but never 5:00 pace.
