There has been a lot of studies lately showing that the best way to run is barefoot. There's an increasing amount of evidence showing the effects of running with shoes compared to those who run without. I've always run with shoes myself, but I never feel hardcore enough when I'm running next to a barefoot marathoner. Those guys are intense.

Most train 2-3 a DAY for 6-7 days a week. I squat and pull 5 days a week. When you start training a lot, your body will get used to it. Im not saying that you should start out lifting everyday, but it is a eventual buildup that you can do it. | ||

I've done numerous marathons and with that comes a lot of long distance training, and you definitely will feel it after awhile. I don't care how good you claim your shoes to be...

Those guys are intense. right, the impact training gets to you over time. i've had friends train for marathons, and have to drop out due to plantar fasciitis (sp?). The bare foot running movement is real, with multiple companies making protection-shoes that offer no additional support, but will protect your feet from the debris on the road. It's an interesting movement, but if you want to be careful with your body, I would look towards a non-impact form of cardio such as biking. You only get one body, you should take care of it. | ||
