Here’s an excellent video from Terra Plana showing the speed with which you can transition from heel strike to forefoot running just by going barefoot. In the video, Barefoot Ralph is taken through his paces by Lee Saxby who runs masterclasses in the Pose technique.
I heard about the video after listening to the interview with Christopher McDougall on the Living Barefoot podcast.

I've signed up for the London2Brighton Challenge a 100km walk (or run for the crazy few). It will take me in the region of 24 hrs and as a solo competitor this will mean traipsing though the night, across the downs, on my tod. I am already scared. If you would like to offer any support I am collecting for a charity dear to my heart - the Samaritans.

This is really interesting, thank you! Am starting a pilate programme at the moment- and hopefully going to stick to it this time, definitely something to discuss with my long-suffering physio. Don’t know how Paula Radcliffe would fit in his definition of a good runner not moving her head?!
