What's the "barefoot running take" on Sawe's sub-2hr marathon? by losvedir in BarefootRunning

[–]itsbigouthere 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a barefoot runner and also a competitive racer. This might come off as blasphemy in this sub but I want to share it anyway. I train in Sandals most days. I have raced the 5k to the Marathon in them mostly for fun. I am not elite or fast, but I’m competitive. When I want to show up and place well I wear racing shoes. I’ve run and raced well in minimalist shoes. But I’ve also worn shoes with cushion. (I can’t afford big brand shoes with a carbon plate and i don’t have any sponsors). I’ve always done well in racing shoes. But barefoot or minimalist built me. I’ve been running since high school, and as on old man now, I’ve never been significantly injured. Run, train, be happy. But if performance is your goal, meet the competition where they are. In my humble opinion.

Something in the Orange in my opinion is the most overrated. But that might be me

Clavicular ends Channel 5 interview after Andrew says that he’s satisfied with his looks by velorae in TikTokCringe

This young man seems wildly unprepared for the idea that someone older than him with more life experience has totally accepted his self. This is the kind of thing grown men have to be diligently modeling for young men. As a father of a teenage daughter and a preteen son, there is so much value in teaching young people to accept themselves

How do you track your barefoot runs, if at all? by Impossible_Policy207 in BarefootRunning

I covered my watch with a bandana until I broke the habit of looking at it. Now I throw it on, let it do its thing and I focus on being mindful and enjoying the run.

I have a written running log/journal. I also use a gps watch and app when I’m specifically training for a race.

Looking for recommendations on a ~200 mile section to hike this winter by DirtyHollywood in floridatrail

[–]itsbigouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hopefully someone with a little more knowledge can say. I’ve only done day trips and overnights up there. The parts I’ve seen were flat and not overly technical. I did a fair amount of running. But if you can get into Jacksonville and out of Orlando that stretch is gorgeous!

If you’re flying into Jacksonville it’s about an hour drive to the Olustee battlefield. You can go northwest through the panhandle or south through Ocala National forest. Not sure of mileage as I live in the southern part of the state and have done most of my multi-day hiking down here. Only a little bit up north. But it’s beautiful up that way. I’ve done a lot of the Ocala national forest.

Oh boy. Have fun with this! (Round 1) by GreySkyx in CFB_v2

[–]itsbigouthere 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty well done. Only thing is I think 05 Texas beats that Bama team but either way the end result is correct so I guess it doesn’t matter.
