I ...Funny to "see" you running there in the states. I have to think about miles and kilometers...I`ve ran 200km last week! Not on altitude, just on small hills! Barafoot running in a thing which is kinda shoe does not sounds like barefoot running. Minimalistic is the bara foot, isn`t it? You also just wearing shorts while snowing? Funny... ;-DLarshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11031184011410585803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-28489430609923274582008-03-17T10:07:00.000-06:002008-03-17T10:07:00.000-06:00I have a couple questions concerning barefoot runn...I have a couple questions concerning barefoot running and running through injuries. I have gotten some comments about these subjects on my blog, but I would love to post some of your comments. Would you please read my posts and comment accordingly? I am currently in contact with "Barefoot" Ted and others.Rockyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07404515725045879174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-82431451099138416912008-03-14T12:34:00.000-06:002008-03-14T12:34:00.000-06:00Anton,Do you monitor your weight very closely?

Have you noticed that there is a particular weight at which you run your best? Could you tell me your height and usual weight? I am just wondering about the typical build of elite ultrarunners. <BR/><BR/>I know being lighter is generally better, but I'm about 5' 8-1/2'', and I've noticed that when I try to go below about 135 lb, I seem to get weaker & slower, instead of faster. <BR/><BR/>Thanks. I plan to do the AC100 this year, and look forward to seeing you there!atwellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03060021335029571213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-30183190503287459192008-03-14T11:29:00.000-06:002008-03-14T11:29:00.000-06:00mark,the bottom line is, my performance is GREATLY...mark,<BR/><BR/>the bottom line is, my performance is GREATLY enhanced by a little bit of stiffness/responsiveness and protection while racing, especially while bombing down hills...so no, you won't ever see me seriously racing in a pair of Five Fingers.Antonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11148317903654491236noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-451222917425507533.post-66055041414909868252008-03-13T20:32:00.000-06:002008-03-13T20:32:00.000-06:00Hi, Tony,Quick question for ya. Do you ever think...Hi, Tony,<BR/>Quick question for ya. Do you ever think about actually racing in the FiveFingers or are they just for training purposes for you? I figured they would be right up your alley as minimal as they are. Take care and good luck with your training!<BR/>MarkMark C.
