About the Workshop

Transitioning to a Barefoot running program is one of the best choices a runner can make for the continuity of their training. However, there are many nuances to barefoot running that can be hard to discover through trial and error. Mastering these nuances are the key for achieving proper technique, and can help reduce stress and energy consumption on the body while increasing performance. Our running workshop is designed to help iron out flaws and ensure proper progression from whatever point each participant is at. During the workshop, we will cover: The importance of rhythm and body language while running. The proper leg cycle while running and how to get the most out of each stride Proper posturing of the torso and upper limbs to conserve energy Each workshop is limited to five individuals. The workshop lasts 95 minutes, with a small intermission of 5 minutes in the middle.

Joint Care

Transitioning to Barefoot Shoes

Walking barefoot after years of being shod can be a challenging process. Muscles and joints need to restrengthen and realign, and it doesn't just happen overnight. Here is how we recommend to begin and continue the process so that transitioning is as smooth and comfortable as possible.

The Foot

The foot is the most complex mechanical structure our body has. It constantly shifts between being a mobile adapter to a stiff lever with each step we take. It is capable of absorbing shock, and then recycling that shock into elastic energy. The basic components of the foot are laid out here.
