Thou Shall Submit
Most articles (other than those authored by the editors) for this website are/have been/will be taken/rewritten/absorbed from interesting and relevant posts found on the internet, Ken Bob’s FaceBook pages, and especially the Barefoot Runners Society forum, and the Original Running Barefoot Forum @ Yahoo.
Still, there are a few important things to consider, if you want your posting to be considered, for the considerable honor of being published on the original Running Barefoot website:
- If you are not the author, be sure to give due credit to the original authors and publisher in the text, and, if available, a link to the original article (in which case, you should provide only a short introduction for the original article in your post, and not copy content verbatim).
- If you would not say something in person, do NOT post it online!
- Do not assume that everyone will know what you’re talking about – in general avoid cryptic terms and abbreviations – remember you should be writing so that others (who might not be able to read your mind) can understand what you mean – don’t be lazy.
- If you feel you must use cryptic terms, such as, (c25k etc..) include an explanation of the term, and/or a link to relevant web site/page (preferably both – at least once).
- If you have questions about technique, injuries, upcoming races, or who is going to run them barefoot, please post them on The Running Barefoot Forum
- The Running Barefoot website will re-post/condense/expand/paraphrase/and otherwise “borrow” some of the more interesting/relevant/helpful information posted there.
