Run Free, Eat free

Been a while since I posted. Thought I'd bring you up to date.

I've had to ease off the bareback bit for a few weeks while my pneumonia cleared. Funny that I got it, after all I've been bareback running for a few weeks so I thought my system would be used to running in sleet by now. Hey ho.

In preparation for my triumphal return to primal running I've been thinking of other ways to truly "run free". The last time I was out I was taking a swig from my water bottle when my foot landed in a badger. Roadkill. Ick.

But then I got to thinking, my prejudice was my enemy, not the entrails. I stepped in the poor fluffy beast because I was drinking from a plastic 21st century bottle. Not very primal was it? So I thought, what would a caveman have done? The answer is obvious. Cavemen were foragers. He'd have stopped and eaten the badger.

Our prejudice for not eating as we go along is a modern conceit. We're designed to eat raw meat! It's the diet we evolved for. And since early man would eat when he could this is obviously the best way to primal run!

I feel sorry for those barefoot runners who go out in their clothes and with their water bottles. They're only going a tiny way and only getting a part of the benefit. If you truly want to run free as nature intended run bareback and forage as you go! You know it makes sense.

Raw scavenged meat has no additives, no drugs in it, and is packed with protein. Your stomach has been weakened by years of processed foot. Time to take back control of your digestion as well as your feet. Once you've overcome the grip that the packaged food companies have on you, you'll be free forever!!!

Bareback Running

Hey everyone. My name is Barefoot Bob. And I'm a bareback runner.

What's one of those, you ask? Allow me to tell you.

I started as a barefoot runner a year ago. The research clearly proved barefoot running was superior. It was how we were designed, and how we were MEANT to run. The only reason I needed trainers was because I had always worn them, but that was just the weakness in my feet. Now they are strong and I need no shoes.

But as I trotted along in my barefeet and sweatshirt, I got to thinking. Why was I wearing clothes? I was Born naked. I was designed to work best unencumbered. The only reason I was wearing my sweatshirt was because Nike had tricked me into thinking I NEEDED something to keep me warm and because cultural experience told me so.

Clothes impede running. They are scientifically PROVEN to increase air resistance. They bind joints, reducing ranges of movement. And the keep you warm, meaning your body loses the ability to keep ITSELF warm (as nature intended.)

So Now, I "run free" stark B****k naked. Oh sure, it was cold at first, but my body soon learned to adapt and now I'm tough enough that I don't NEED clothes.

Of course this is not for everyone, which is why some should consider "minimalist backwear" (speedo make some).

So join me! Run free, not just foot free but COMPLETELY free. Let your body be all it can be, and shrug off the oppressive capitalists who have conned us all into thinking we need to run clothed.

I invite you to try it and post your experiences. The barefoot revolution is old news. Lets take it to the next level and run truly free!
