The Barefoot Running Book (2e) by Jason Robillard


The second edition of The Barefoot Running Book by Jason Robillard is now available. The greatly expanded seconded edition is sure to be the manual for barefoot running. The first edition, at just 68 pages, seemed a bit rushed, but the 188-page second edition is the complete package. Not only does Jason dive more deeply into the science of barefoot running, he added contributions from numerous experts in the field, including Barefoot Ted McDonald and Barefoot Rick Roeber.

Although Jason touches on the biomechanics and science of running, I think the real strength of his book lies in the practical training plans he provides. From the 5k Cheetah plan to the 26-mile Marathon Hyena plan, he’s got one for every runner. Varied-terrain and debris drills will keep your eye-foot coordination at peak performance while you work your way to barefoot running proficiency. Jason’s diary-style race report of the Hallucination 100 Mile Run seasons the book with a personal touch that will inspire you to keep running.

If you’re at all interested in barefoot running, you owe it to yourself to read The Barefoot Running Book. Jason’s book truly is A Practical Guide to the Art and Science of Barefoot & Minimalist Shoe Running.

Oh yeah, you should also check out Jason's website, Barefoot Running University. I like it, but then I'm a Barefoot Professor!

  2. I join you. To become a healthy person you need to take an example from such people. I'm myself very passionate about natural medicine now. I can share with you a wonderful article about the properties of the CDB oil - https://www.shoppingcbd.com/cbd-for-ibs/ - cbd for ibs review This herbal medicine is now at the peak of fame thanks to new medical research. I plan to use this instead of pills.

  3. Hmm, so my friend who runs barefoot isn’t crazy after all – or at least not for this reason. The other reason that I am sure he is crazy is, he managed to get the title of the Best Assignment Help service provider in the USA. Now, one has to be crazy to reach the top within such a short period. Anyway, I wish I could reach that level of craziness – hmm, reading this book might help? lemme read it and see…
