I don't disagree with your points, but I believe there is
something to this notion of barefoot running potentially improving
your overall running style. I find the idea of it very appealing
because it makes logical sense. But after a lifetime of wearing
shoes, it's very risky to experiment with. For some people without
tight training and racing schedules, it might be worthwhile to take
that risk.

yes, but are the two causaly related ? There are many people who become
faster without adopting it.

Tim,

So you view my referring to the articles as a plug. I guess I don't
understand how gathering information from very knowledgeable people and
helping it get out there is such a bad thing. The site is a free
resource.

The goal is to educate people.

Thanks

If the entire point of your post is to tell everyone how good your website is (without
being forthcoming about the fact that it is your website), then yes, it's a plug.

(1) you were not honest about the fact that you're promoting your website, and
(2) you don't make any contribution to the discussion besides promoting your website.

Elford,

I apologize for coming across as plugging the site. The goal isn't to
tell people how good the site is but to share the information. This is
why I didn't refer to the general site, but to the exact article and I
did put SoCal Triathlete in my signature thinking it would be obvious.

The site is designed to help educate people. I am not a coach or
manufacturer selling anything. I am also not a certified POSE coach so
I don't feel I should give advise on the topic, but I know the article
is written by a certified POSE coach.

I am sorry for offending you. That is not my intension.
