Barefoot/minimalist running
I am beginning light research on the structure/function aspects of the barefoot/minimalist running movement.
Most of what i will be looking at is the work from Daniel Lieberman (the evolutionary biologist on the forefront of the movement) , the recent research the military has put out, and the Osteopathic principals of structure and function.
For curiosity sake (not scientific)
1) if you are a barefoot/minimalist runner, how did you phase into the change in footwear
2) did you concentrate on changing form first before switching
3) did you see a decrease in foot, shin, or knee injuries 3 months and 1 year out from the switch.
