Barefoot: Running Long Distance Without Shoes! Michael Sandler

While riding my bike to work, this early fall morning, I saw a guy running barefoot on one of Boulder's many multi-use trails. I was so fascinated, especially seeing him barefoot on concrete, that I made a quick U-turn and pulled up behind him with my camera in recording mode. As you can learn from the video, it turns out this runner is Michael Sandler, coach of the nation's largest barefoot running club. Called the Barefoot Running Club, it's a growing organization of advocates who believe (and can demonstrate) there are benefits to running without shoes - something our ancestors were doing one or two million years ago! I don't know much about it but will certainly give it a try once my own aches and pains subside from a summer of extensive mountaineering... NOTE: This video was not "staged" or rehearsed as was suggested by some running forums a few days after I had posted it - I really did ride my bicycle up behind Michael, unannounced, and started asking questions. And, thankfully Michael is in such great shape he was able to answer me while still running!
