Born to run barefoot?

I recently had a patient who is an avid runner ask me if he would be better off running barefoot.

He was intrigued by the premise of the bestselling book Born to Run: that barefoot running decreases injury risk. My knee-jerk answer to this patient’s question was that barefoot running is a fad, and that he was better off in traditional, supportive running shoes. A recent group of studies have forced me to revise my thinking on barefoot running. When faced with the question, does barefoot running increase or decrease injury risk, the answer seems to be that it might do both!

A study published in Nature used a force platform to measure how the feet of Kenyan schoolchildren struck the ground. Those youngsters that ran in shoes landed on their heels, and generated a significant pounding.

Those who ran barefoot landed closer to the front of their feet, generating less force at contact. Based on these findings, barefoot running seems to be the answer—less pounding should mean less wear and tear.

Not so fast—there are problems with this theory. The vast majority of us learn to run in shoes. Shoes alter how we move. An article from The Journal of Foot and Ankle Research found that if you put young children in shoes their steps become longer and they land with more force on their heels. Just kicking off your shoes won’t make you run like a Kenyan. Many newbie barefoot David runners continue to stride as if they were in shoes—landing Pechter Rehab in Motion heavily on their heels. Most biomechanics experts agree that newbie barefoot runners do eventually adapt their stride, but that the pounding during this transition phase may actually increase risk of injury.

So, where does all this new science leave a runner who has been contemplating ditching their shoes? The evidence seems equivocal, but if you’re keen on giving it a try I advise you to start slowly. Try removing your shoes for the last two to five per cent of your normal run and ease into barefoot running by extending the barefoot portion by a few minutes every week.

Also, pay attention to your form. Don’t over stride when barefoot—your stride should be shorter than when shod.

You should also make a conscious effort to land lightly. Humans may have been built to run barefoot, but we did not evolve to run barefoot with bad form!

ntist sk the De3x3.5 A Question:

I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why? Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process.

The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss.

Dr. Kevin Lathangue When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic inflammation and infection in the mouth.

Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes.

Brushing twice a day with fluoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with floss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.

Saltwater fishing for both Chinook and Coho salmon has not tapered off and the end is not in sight.

Last Sunday it was like the return of heavy fishing pressure in the key areas that are producing fish. The Hump had at least Scott McLeod with 45 boats out. A group Campbell River Salmon of 20 anglers were at Painters Lodge enjoying a full day of fishing and everyone got their limit. Scott McLeod from Portage, Indiana fished for the first time in Campbell River.

The first salmon of the year at Discovery Pier was caught by Jack Hemskerk whose fish was 10 pounds.

Devon Graham 11 years old enjoys fishing on the pier and is waiting to catch the big one.

Her father Jim Pier Graham is a regular Devon Graham fishing off the fishing out of Salmon Point.

John Holmes returned from a west coast fishing trip and reported a couple of day’s fog at Nootka Sound.

Local pothole lakes can be very good early morning and late evening. Fry Lake can produce some nice fish and is less crowded. Echo was very busy last Saturday so I ended up driving and trying out the Elk River for catch and release trout. Many of the creek tributaries are fishable on the dry fly but fishing has tapered off.
