BAREFOOT/MINIMAL FOOTWEAR RUNNING COACH
If you are looking for an answer to the question "how can I run better,
more efficiently, more joyfully?", I have a potential answer for
you...and it is not what you might expect. My suggestion is that you
learn how to run barefoot. Learn how to enjoy running again by learning
how to run like your primal ancestors.
I can give you insights into how you may more smoothly find the running
path most suited for you…either barefoot or with minimalist shoes like
Vibram FiveFingers.
TELEPHONE COACHING/CONSULTING
"My phone session with Barefoot
Ted was wonderful. I've been researching barefoot running for a while
but his insights and information were unique and very valuable. I
learned so much and also got the individual attention I was looking
for. Thank you!"
VOLUNTEER PARK, SEATTLE: BAREFOOT TRAINING GROUNDS
Weekly gatherings and daily individual coaching sessions held at historical Volunteer Park
on Capitol Hill in Seattle, an ideal place in the heart of the city to
move outdoors surrounded by awe inspiring natural beauty and 20 of the
largest trees in Washington state.
I can teach you how to run barefoot: smoothly, efficiently and joyfully.
Research suggests that you should avoid cushion and support. Your
foot needs freedom. Rely on good form, quick cadence and gentle
landings rather than the whims of footwear marketers. I want you to
strengthen your body and your feet for greater overall health.
BORN TO RUN…BAREFOOT: EVENTS AND PUBLIC SPEAKING
I immensely enjoy sharing my personal quest to find a solution for
joyful running and living with audiences large and small. The book Born to Run
has opened doors allowing me to do more public speaking and seminars.
If you are interested in having me speak at your event, please feel
free to contact me for more details.
My goal is to share secrets about running and living that have worked
well for me. I want to encourage others to find their own path by
gaining insight from my experiences and from their own experiments in
barefooting and primal living.
Let Christopher McDougall's best selling book Born to Run
be your introduction to who I am and why I think the way I do. He does
a fantastic job of outlining why I run barefoot and offers some
compelling reasons why you might want to give barefooting a try too.
RECENT REVIEWS

Barefoot in the Park
Ted
reminds me of the teacher who always had a gleem in his eye as he
brought a new experience to the class each day. He was full of energy
for the entire session and you can tell that he was just itching to
share more information with you. Honestly, I would have liked to have
spent much more time with Ted. That said, the single session was just
perfect because he boiled things down to three key concepts. Now I have
a place to start over.

All the tools you need to get started
Ted
gave me the perfect introductory lesson in barefoot running. Although
he had a lot of information to share -- all of it interesting and
worthwhile -- he was very careful to leave me with concrete takeaways
that I can apply to assess and improve my running going forward. And he
didn't push at all for a follow-up or more lessons. Excellent, highly
recommended for anyone who walks or runs.
