Barefoot running has really begun to take off recently. The introduction of shoes such as Nike Frees and Vibram Five Fingers is evidence of this. But what is this whole barefoot thing all about and why should anyone pay attention to it?
Let's start off by stating the obvious - humans didn't evolve with shoes on their feet. If you look at any native, undeveloped population, they all get around quite happily with no shoes. You might wonder how or why, but there is growing evidence that wearing shoes actually INCREASES the risk of injury.
Let's look at some trends here.
Developed, shoe-wearing populations:
- High incidence of stress fractures
- High incidence of muscle strains and overuse injuries
- High incidence of chronic leg injuries
- Generally poor running technique requiring orthotics and other foot support
Barefoot populations:
- Low incidence of plantar fasciitis
- Low incidence of twisted / sprained ankles
- Low incidence of shin splints and chronic leg injuries
This sounds totally contradictory to what seems logical but there's good reason behind it.
Running Shoes Compensate for Poor Form
Now this might also take a bit of thinking to get to grips with, but you know those expensive running shoes which say they provide the best cushioning for your foot? They're teaching you to run badly! At the very least, they're saying it's ok to run badly because these shoes will cushion the impact.
The bad news is, they can only cushion so much. If you're landing on your heels when you run, you're sending a large jarring force right up your legs through your knees to your hips. No shoes can completely compensate for this. Plus unless you replace your shoes regularly, any shoes that compensate will lose their cushioning quickly and your risk of injury will increase greatly.
Barefoot running improves technique and reduces stress
Think about it. With no big bulky shoes to cushion your heels when you land on them or correct your foot pronation, are you going to keep running like that? No way! You'll learn how to run efficiently and painlessly because your body will force you to or you'll fall in a heap!
Barefoot running strengthens stabilizing muscles
The other thing shoes are doing when running is reducing sensitivity of your feet to the ground. The muscles that stabilize your foot when barefoot (known as proprioceptive muscles) don't get to work much as the shoe is trying to do it for you. This eventually weakens these stabilizing muscles as they're not doing any work.
Running barefoot obviously utilizes these stabilizing muscles enormously. This gradually strengthens them and reduces your chances of injury. However, the inherent weakness of these muscles in shoe-wearing populations is exactly why you shouldn't just go out and run an hour in bare feet straight away. Like any muscles they need time and gradual overload to increase their strength.
So What Are You Saying?
Ok, so let me get to the point. Barefoot running is good for you! If you run and you find yourself getting sore or injured, you need to add barefoot running to your training schedule. After all, top barefoot runners have run 15 marathons in one year in bare feet. Could you do this, even with shoes?
If you don't run, going barefoot is still good. You don't need to run, you can walk! It will still have the same benefits of strengthening little used muscles and improve technique, reducing injury. Plus it feels good!
In summary, Barefoot Running:
- Improves technique, allowing you to run faster much easier than you thought possible
- Strengthens stabilizing muscles, reducing lower leg and ankle injuries
- Reduces impact stress due to improved technique, reducing risk of knee, hip and upper leg injuries
Next up, you're going to want to know how to go about joining the barefoot running movement and starting your barefoot career!
