Interesting, I may try running barefoot next time. At the trail near my college I used to see a guy jogging barefoot pretty frequently and wondered why he was doing it. It's weird, though, most people run around barefoot as kids all the time, but then as we get older we all adopt fancy running shoes instead.
:p |
If u have ever seen the old Arnold training clips or read his books...he was a huge advocate for training barefoot. He would do his weight training that way. ;) |

BCAAs. nothing more. they do have vitamin C, B6 and riboflavin in them tho. i just get a huge high after hard training... only in the last few months training was completely DESTROYING me. apparently, i was seriously eating my muscles from not paying proper attention to my nutrition.
i feel like superman after training hard now. |

Interesting article on barefoot versus shoe running:
http://www.sportsci.org/jour/0103/mw.htm
"Wearers of expensive running shoes that were promoted as correcting pronation or providing more cushioning experienced a greater prevalence of these running-related injuries than wearers of less expensive shoes (Robbins and Gouw, 1991). In another study, expensive athletic shoes accounted for more than twice as many injuries as cheaper shoes, a fact that prompted Robbins and Waked (1997) to suggest that deceptive advertising of athletic footwear (e.g., "cushioning impact") may represent a public health hazard. Anthony (1987) reported that running shoes should be considered protective devices (from dangerous or painful objects) rather than corrective devices, as their capacity for shock absorption and control of over-pronation is limited. The modern running shoe and footwear generally reduce sensory feedback, apparently without diminishing injury-inducing impact–a process Robbins and Gouw (1991) described as the "perceptual illusion" of athletic footwear. A resulting false sense of security may contribute to the risk of injury (Robbins and Gouw, 1991). Yessis (2000, p.122) reasoned that once the natural foot structures are weakened by long-term footwear use, people have to rely on the external support of the footwear, but the support does not match that provided by a well functioning foot." |
Not saying that article is bunk...but have you got anything with more recent references/research material (within the last 5 years)? |

yup I have been over-trained a bunch of times now and just broke out of a plateau recently. It can be tough to get enough protein in if u can't eat every few hours. When u get like that again, even with proper food, take a few days off at least...not even cardio. It's bad for the body as it will eat itself and kills your sex drive, makes u depressed and all kinds of bad :p |

i want out of my plateau too! i'm not exercising for a week actually because i think i've pushed too much lately. working long hours hitting then gym then not really sleeping has turned out to be bad bad bad. i'm going to see if i can do it, because unlike most it's hard for me to NOT exercise for an extended amount of time. |

No, I am pretty much new to the topic. I put "barefoot running" in Google and that came up.

Some of the finest distance runners in recent history would be offended at the suggestion of footwear (at least during training). :p
I'll have to double check on this, but I think it may have been in 1986 that the winner of the Western States ultra-marathon (100 miles) completed the course barefoot. |

I have been there a lot...I have problems sleeping as well, still! It's hard to not go cause u think your being lazy...at least in my head :whip: A week of nothing should do it, and a definite fix is changing your routine and types of exercises. Can't stress that enough! |

Well I haven't heard about that, but Abebe Bikila did set a new marathon record barefoot in the 1960 olympics. |

My old cross country coach was an ultra marathoner, and ran the Western States' a few times in the 80's. He mentioned that the winner in one particular year was from Mexico, and ran it barefoot. For some reason, I recall it being 1986. |

So I ran barefoot the past few days, going easy the first day to get used to it, and I really enjoy it so far. The muscles in my feet and ankles were a bit sorer than usual for the first two days, but I got myself up to running some sprints today and I feel like I'm getting used to it already because they aren't very sore at all. It also feels like my feet and ankles are really being worked and will get much stronger as I keep it up. I think I'm sticking with this.
On another note I want to get some plyometric boxes to do box jumps:

Hopefully I can find some that cost less than that, though. |
