Also what do those of us do who are forced to run in the concrete jungle? You cannot avoid stepping on stones, glass and other nasties... I would be interested to hear solutions.

In fact he is aiming to complete both Brighton and London marathons bare foot in April. He always had troubles with his back and hips when running and got a few knee injurys too but since going barefoot the only injury he has picked up is the odd swelling on top of his foot from pushing it too hard and a few blisters. He has had to go completely back to basics and re learn how to run without hurting his feet which he has now done and he completed the Brooks 10k and the Brighton Half marathon barefoot in almost the same time as he did when he ran them in shoes. He is trying to convince me to try it but I am not quite as brave as he is :) My husband read this book and is now a bare foot runner.
