By Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo
I did in Oslo, Norway, my 355th marathon and 115th barefoot marathon.
I completed the 2014 Oslo Marathon with sneakers, so it was a great pleasure to do the Norwegian race this time barefoot. Lage Sofienlund from Norway ran barefoot the last 15 km with me. We crossed together the finish line. He was running with sneakers when he asked me why I was running barefoot, which I explained to him. He later handed his sneakers and socks to his friends who were waiting for him on the course.
After few kilometers he told me that his legs were feeling better. When he told me that three times or so, I said in Norwegian: “ingen sko, ingen problemer” (English: no shoes, no problems). It was his first time to run barefoot, but sometimes he plays barefoot football.
After the race I walked barefoot on the roof of the Oslo Opera House on my way back to the hotel.
My book Running Barefoot for Human Survival is available on Amazon in paperback and e-book format (French edition: Courir pieds nus pour sauver les humains).
