Dr. Barefoot Sidy Diallo's 2023 Runs

Running is Our Best Medicine
 
So at 68 I'm planning to run tens of marathons in 2023 to stay fit and healthy. Long-distance running prevents chronic diseases and eliminate the need for harmful consumption. Long-distance running not only prevents chronic diseases, fatigue, vulnerability to pandemics, untimely aging and loss of mental or physical abilities, but also eliminates the need for harmful consumption.
 
My races will include many private marathons—like in the previous years since 2020. I did in January 2020 in Oman my first private marathon, for anthropological purposes, setting a highly motivating precedent.
 
Private marathons and ultramarathons later became my norm for the rest of 2020 because of the race cancellations and travel bans. As a result, I stayed fit and healthy throughout the pandemic with a strong immune system that dealt a decisive blow to Covid-19 in 2022, so much so that, after the required period of isolation, at 67, I easily ran 7 marathons in 6 weeks, namely the Barcelona Marathon on May 8, the Louvre Marathon on May 15, the Royan Marathon on May 21, the Edinburgh Marathon on May 29, the Stockholm Marathon on June 4, a Piss Off Marathon on June 11 and the Rio de Janeiro Marathon on June 19.
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).
