Preventing Effectively Obesity and other Comorbidities
The 2021 Absurdistan Running Series (ARS)
Running Barefoot for Human Survival
Human body is not designed for our lifestyle, hence the scourges and the risk of extinction that we’re sadly facing. Like our ancestors, we’re born to run barefoot to be happy and healthy, boost our immune systems and ensure the survival of our species. And that’s crucial, since prevention is the free, safe and most effective solution to many diseases and pandemics, including obesity and COVID-19.
Moreover, aggressive prevention would not only save yearly tens of millions lives and a lot of money, but also significantly improve our quality of life and humanness, and drastically reduce global warming and the depletion of natural resources.

I call liberation marathons and liberation ultramarathons the 63 GPS documented non-official races I ran between the first two COVID-19 lockdowns in Absurdistan, aka France, in 2020. The races I did afterwards under the same circumstances in Absurdistan make up the Absurdistan Running Series (ARS): Absurdistan Marathons and Absurdistan Half Marathons (any run between 21.1 km and less than 42 km).
Absurdistan Marathon # 21
Marathon # 298/Barefoot Marathon # 92
Date: August 20, 2021
My time: 5:38:27
COVID restrictions permitting, I’ll run nine official marathons in the next nine weeks. The races include three Marathon Majors (Berlin, London and Boston), the Run in Paradise, the Vienna Marathon, the Rome Marathon, the Paris Marathon, etc.
If the races are either canceled or I’m banned from exiting France or entering the destination countries, I’ll keep running Absurdistan marathons even inside my home—if we’re again banned from running outside, because it’s more crucial than ever to be rational and keep preventing obesity and other comorbidities instead of relying on quick fixes, while aggravating those crippling physical and mental diseases.
We deserve to enjoy a healthy life, and we can achieve that goal. Find out more in the book “Running Barefoot for Human Survival.”
