Look at me, I'm on TV!

Scott Alexander

Did a local TV station interview yesterday about my start into barefoot/natural running, at a local PT office.

Take a gander!

Great story. Initially they seemed to imply that barefoot/natural running in itself causes injuries, but came around towards the end.

P.S. Nice tattoos!

Tom Glynn

Looks like your running 15:00 min/miles! Very cool to be on TV.

Nemo Brauch

Very cool- another celebrity in the haus!

@Tom, they had me running artificially slow to get the close-up shots of my feet. But it was still hot in that little corner where the treadmill was, so I was sweating it up!

@ Scott - it may have been slow, but it looks like you had a nice fore foot strike. My wife's tri club had a podiatrist speak at the last monthly meeting and he said those things have been great for his business. Sounds like a lot of people are going too far too soon. Barefoot running was pushed heavily in the 1980's by coach Brooks Johnson (I'm going off memory here) but never really took off like it has now. I see a lot of folks in the Vibrams at my gym. My feet are too old to go in that direction now although I do believe there is some value to be had.
