Marathon de Paris in Huaraches

This time, I had the perfect match in terms of clothing.

But the day before, at the Expo...

We got the chance to touch a living legend of Running, Scott Jurek. The guy is soooo coooool...

Then, we just had to run and then eat and drink...and rejoice...

See you next year...

Fine tuning of my Huaraches

In March, I found a setting to tie my Huaraches and avoid the string rubbing! I noticed that even though I have a neutral and silent stride and can run miles barefoot, I could not solve the issue of the rubbing of the string between my 1st and 2nd toe. In fact, the blisters came after 5-8 k, and not between the toes, which would be a sign of overstriding, but BELOW the toes. Plus, I also made a terrible flapping sound when running. So I checked my stride on video and found that I dorsiflex a lot, i.e. my toes are bent a lot upwards before landing. When I do that when still, I can clearly see the strings touching hard the skin far below the 1st and 2nd toe. OK so that explains the rubbing and the huge blisters in some cases. Then, I checked on internet photos of sandals worn by the Tarahumaras. Shit, if these guys can run 100 miles in sandals, there must be a solution. And in some photos I noticed that they wear their sandals with the string between the toes attached more forward

Première sortie Salève en Huaraches 2017

Pas vite mais sympa. Reprise après un hiver à me trainer comme un sac. Dernière sortie de mes vieilles Huaraches Xeroshoes. Elles sont un peu usées de la semelle et parfois je recule sur des terrains un peu glissants. Avant d'en refaire une autre paire, je photographie l'usure pour les archives de Steven Sashen à Xeroshoes.

Les dernières avancées scientifiques pour synchroniser le cerveau

The Ultimate Guide To Brainwave Entrainment Un super article, très complet, qui donne une revue de tout ce qui se fait actuellement en techniques de synchronisation des hémisphères cérébraux. Le but étant d'harmoniser le fonctionnement du cerveu humain afin de retrouver un équilibre entre cognition et intuition, et entre résolution de problèmes et sensation cosmique. http://www.shift.is/2017/10/ultimate-guide-brainwave-entrainment/
