Wouter Buist

After the experience with the 5K race I thought it was time to consult an expert to figure out what I did wrong and how I can improve it. So I made an appointment with Wouter Buist, a Dutch movement scientist en physiologist which is a specialist in barefeet running. It was incredible what he learned me about my running form in a two hour session. This session gives me a total new point of view considering the right running form and it also becomes clear what I did wrong. My longest training I ever did on barefeet was 35 minutes during this session we where training for almost two hours and it wasn’t a problem at all. I made a great progression in understanding the running form. I also learned that I have to slow down to adapt this new running form. Wouter gives on a regular basis workshops barefoot running, but you can also consult him for a personal training. If you start running, barefoot or shod I can recommend you to do this! For more information about Wouter and the barefoot workshops I recommend you to visit his site
