Dood's a beast. I'd probably wanna do the same if I looked like that. :)
AlrightlyThen
Probably his kid asked him for new shoes
Vixess
You know what, though.. Properly fitting running shoes make a world of difference. And I do mean "running" shoes.

kallekaskas
I would still argue that running barefeet on asphalt might not be the so good for the feet but to be honest I am no feet expert
LtKifKroker
But I don’t think you can discount the value of modern athletic wear. Yeah he finished but probably did more damage in training than others
Kalthramis
Good way to fuck up your feet, though. We didn't evolve to run on solid as fuck asphalt and pavement
CyclopticColleague
The necklace was made from bones extracted from his husband's mouth. His buddy also helped stitch the loincloth. Happy pride!
penzick
I feel like part of the story is missing here.
Lakeylake
Bones extracted from his husband's mouth, eh?
doublejubean
Just one. Extracted over and over.
Twinklepot
His husband was eating a tub of KFC at the time.
MostlyDinosaurs
There was that native american who ran in shoes he found in the trash bc the other american athletes had thrown his shoes away

Billy Mills won the 10,000 meter at the Olympics in Japan I think. Wasn’t even supposed to place , ended winning it. Had to borrow shoes
mtraiders73
Shoes were too big for him.
BHPaperstacks
I read that as Billy Mays at first
LetheTheArtificer
Citation on it being Americans that threw his shoes away? I never heard they even had suspicions of a whom did it while in Sweden.
nowheressomethingwehopeyoullreallylike
Honestly, as an American, I don't doubt it was his own countrymen. We're pretty trash to each other in general
NicolasKevinMac
"who" The entire phrase, "who did it" is the object of the preposition; within the phrase, "who" is the subject ("Who did it? He did it").
ParanoydAndroid
Yup, it's harassing you're being downvoted. Who/whom is relative to it's role in a subordinate clause, not relative to the role of the
ParanoydAndroid
clause in the parent sentence.
HalfPintKatie
"Use who when the word is performing the action. Use whom when it is receiving the action." "For whom the bell tolls"...a way to remember.

Dont need hi tech shoes, just an entire year to toughen your feet! Thats it!
HypoMix
nah, don't need a whole year, I can comfortably run on asphalt for a while and i'm an office clerk. a month I reckon.
ChopDaffodil
Also you know it helps to be in a position where you make lots of money so you can afford to train and eat for it like average cavemen.

GNiko
Imagine if you had started toughening your feet when you were kid. How many years of toughening they'd already have.
BennyGaga
Imagine how angry my chiropodist would be.

imaginaryPeppers
We run barefoot all summer, but after winter our feet were always sooo sensitive. They need to be toughened constantly or they get soft.
BluePaladin42
I mean, people train for marathons, so simply deciding to work barefoot running into that isn't unreasonable. The only reason we'd need-
BluePaladin42
-a year to toughen the soles of our feet enough anyway is because we wear shoes all the time. And that's not wrong or a problem in and of-
BluePaladin42
-itself, but since his goal was presumably to do a run the way humans did so for MILLIONS of years meant working back from the whole shoe-
BluePaladin42
-thing.
FPAlpha
Might work on natural, soft, ground but concrete? He will need to find a good orthopedist soon if he does it regularly at these distances.
ccpr
So much this. Running shoes are there to protect your joints as much as your feet.
Draiki
Not necessarily. Lots of people run on "barefoot shoes" these days. We've evolved to run barefoot.
Draiki
That said I usually run partly through natural terrain. 100% concrete would suck.
Frazmatazz
Very little scientific evidence they're effective for that.
Corrodias
Well, yes, someone stuck in poverty is usually there for more than a single year, and a dedicated runner will also run for more than a year.
OrangeFlavours
Someone stuck in poverty usually just has shitty shoes, they don't literally walk around barefoot.
Corrodias
Yeah? And the point he's seemingly demonstrating here is that you don't need fancy shoes. You could do it barefoot, or use bad shoes. Yay!
OrangeFlavours
I mean yeah, people run barefoot. Wearing better shoes don't make you better, but it DOES help your health.
Corrodias
Could be. Anyway, hopefully now you understand why I found it pretty strange to criticize this technique for taking "an entire year".
Largerabbit
...running a marathon is for rich people. Someone in poverty doesn't have the time, energy, or spare calories for it
Corrodias
Good point. For what reason would someone not want to use running shoes, then?
Largerabbit
There is emerging data that traditional running shoes actually cause damage. So there is a growing spectrum of minimalist shoes
Tuidjy
That's not it. When I was at MIT, once we had a snowstorm on April the 13th. The Marathon was the same week. The guy took a risk...
Tuidjy
The guy took a risk. If that year had been as cold as the one I remember (late 90s) he would have never been able to finish.
Tuidjy
I looked it up. It was the 1st, actually, but there was snow still around on the 13th. I remembered the date, it was my then-GF's birthday.

I'm on the fence between agnostic/atheist, but God not interfering is weak argument because of the afterlife, as for suffering in general >

It serves as the primary driver behind community. Billions of people dislike the vast majority of people they meet, and the only incentive>
