Trying to keep healthy one barefoot run at a time

 

The Barefoot Daddy is about a lifestyle.

 

I am a barefoot runner. I wear zero drop running shoes, as I feel it improves my running style, posture and performance. Barefoot running is intended to be a pure way of running, as your body and moreover your feet and legs do as they where built to do. Barefoot running in its minimalist style, has become an analogy for our family life. We rarely eat processed foods, and try and cook everything we eat. As well, when we need something for the house, if we can, we try and make it. The Barefoot Daddy has developed out of a desire to share how we do it, so that others, perhaps, can take something that we are doing and try it themselves. What we’re saying is, is if we can do it, anyone can.

I will add however, that if you want the kit that I use for running, or some of the things we make, then we have a shop in which to buy these things, as well, we learn from others, and therefore it makes sense to share what we learn, so we have a podcast also… (doesn’t everyone?)

Barefoot Running

Barefoot running is at times, fairly hotly debated as to whether it is better for you than running in cushioned trainers. My personal switch was almost 10 years ago in Canada. Basically I was in the market for new trainers, and the New Balance barefoot shoes I ultimately bought, I thought where cool. As I got used to them, the more I ran, the more I liked feeling every element of the terrain. It also felt like my running was getting better the more I ran. While I am entrenched in the “community” it does seem that there is more of a movement toward this type of trainer and shoe these days, and if you’d like to learn more, do click over to our blog, to get more thoughts on the style, as well as useful links. On the hand, if you’re in the market, I am affiliated to both Xero and Vivobarefoot, and you can find links to their pages in the menu.


Always worn barefoot shoes, now slowly transitioning to pure barefoot running.

The Barefoot Podcast

The Barefoot Podcast

I personally love people. And love learning about their journeys. I also love podcasts. So when I set up a podcast for my first company, and had the kit, it seemed perfectly natural to set up one for this. We’re not the first parents to want to ‘teach’ our children an active and healthy way of living, and it seems silly to not produce a show that draws upon the wit and wisdom of those who have gone before us. We then learn, and in turn can teach, and implement best practice so that our children learn with us… If you feel you have something to offer and would like to be interviewed, please do get in touch below (or click here), but moreover click below to get the podcast!

Everything Else…

Like everyone, outside of family life, our interests extend to a variety of pursuits. For me, Drones, a touch of amateur woodwork and cooking, as well as the running and such, and for all of these other pursuits I have set up streams… If for nothing else, than as a stream for me, perhaps for my son, or even for someone who might glean something from my efforts, good or bad… So, below are links to the blog (also found in the menu), as well as the youtube channel, and then the (trusty) Instagram feed is below. If there is ever anything of interest or you have enquiries the contact page is below…
