Thanks for the comment. I would say that this is actually a conservative plan. Many folks have been able to do more miles by step 7, but it’s designed to increase slowly so even a complete newby runner could be safe. That being said, everyone’s body is unique and no plan should ever, I mean ever, substitute for listening to one’s own body and doing what feels best.

After a few months of steadily increasing your distance running, and being well in all areas of your life, such as diet, sleep, meditation, etc., there really is no limit to how much one could run barefoot (and when I say barefoot, after the first few steps, I’m including very minimal shoes, like the Merrell Trail Gloves and Vivo Barefoot Vivos).

Interesting article. I cannot say that I am in agreement with any of the steps in this program. Steps 7 through 11 seem just plain dangerous and irresponsible to me. Three runs a week of 8-miles each, barefoot, for a month: really? Yikes. I hope that no one gets hurt doing this.

I always walk around in the house with out shoes and can not wait to get my first pair of VFF this week. I don’t think should be too hard for me to know how to walk in them then may start to try running to get back in shape.
