    Barefoot Running Debate

    All I'm saying is that this is one theoretical possibility. Another theoretical possibility is the GRF always pointing towards the COM. Kram...

    Barefoot Running Debate

    Yeah... the issue of misrepresentation and misquoting is obviously much more important than the real issue of whether barefoot running is good or bad
