I recently had a patient who is an avid runner ask me if he would be better off running barefoot. He was intrigued by the premise of the best-selling book Born to Run: that barefoot running decreases injury risk. My knee-jerk answer to this patient’s question was that barefoot running is a fad, and that he was better off in traditional, supportive running shoes. A recent group of studies have forced me to revise my thinking on barefoot running. When faced with the question, does barefoot running increase or decrease injury risk, the answer seems to be that it might do both!
A study published in Nature used a force platform to measure how the feet of Kenyan schoolchildren struck the ground. Those youngsters that ran in shoes landed on their heels, and generated a significant pounding. Those who ran barefoot landed closer to the front of their feet, generating less force at contact. Based on these findings, barefoot running seems to be the answer—less pounding should mean less wear and tear.
Not so fast—there are problems with this theory. The vast majority of us learn to run in shoes. Shoes alter how we move. An article from The Journal of Foot and Ankle Research found that if you put young children in shoes their steps become longer and they land with more force on their heels. Just kicking off your shoes won’t make you run like a Kenyan. Many newbie barefoot runners continue to stride as if they were in shoes—landing heavily on their heels. Most biomechanics experts agree that newbie barefoot runners do eventually adapt their stride, but that the pounding during this transition phase may actually increase risk of injury.
So, where does all this new science leave a runner who has been contemplating ditching their shoes? The evidence seems equivocal, but if you’re keen on giving it a try I advise you to start slowly. Try removing your shoes for the last two to five per cent of your normal run and ease into barefoot running by extending the barefoot portion by a few minutes every week.
Also, pay attention to your form. Don’t over stride when barefoot—your stride should be shorter than when shod.
You should also make a conscious effort to land lightly. Humans may have been built to run barefoot, but we did not evolve to run barefoot with bad form!

email: [email protected] Saltwater � shing for both Chinook and Coho salmon has not tapered off and the end is not in sight. Last Sunday it was like the return of heavy � shing pressure in the key areas that are producing � sh. The Hump had at least 45 boats out. A group of 20 anglers were at Painters Lodge enjoying a full day of � shing and everyone got their limit. Scott McLeod from Portage, Indiana � shed for the � rst time in Campbell River. The � rst salmon of the year at Discovery Pier
was caught by Jack Hemskerk whose � sh was 10 pounds. Devon Graham 11 years old enjoys � shing on the pier and is waiting to catch the big one. Her father Jim Graham is a regular
� shing out of Salmon Point. John Holmes returned from a west coast � shing trip and reported a couple of day’s fog at Nootka Sound. Local pothole lakes can be very good early morning and late evening. Fry Lake can produce some nice � sh and is less crowded. Echo was very busy last Saturday so I ended up driving and trying out the Elk River for catch and release trout. Many of the creek tributaries are � shable on the dry � y but � shing has tapered off.

Ask the Dentist
Answer: Diabetes affects many Canadians each year ~ it can lower your resistance to infection & can slow the healing process. The most common oral health problems associated with diabetes are tooth decay and periodontal (gum) disease which leads to tooth loss.When diabetes is not controlled properly, high sugar levels in saliva may help bacteria thrive. Plaque that is not removed can eventually harden (calcify) into calculus. When calculus collects above the gumline, it cannot be removed by brushing. This can create conditions that lead to chronic infl ammation and infection in the mouth. Periodontal disease often is linked to the control of diabetes. For example, patients with inadequate blood sugar control appear to develop periodontal disease more often and more severely, and they lose more teeth than do people who have good control of their diabetes.Brushing twice a day with fl uoride toothpaste, cleaning once a day between your teeth with fl oss and seeing your dentist regularly for an exam will help you to maintain your overall health.
Question: I’ve recently been diagnosed with uncontrolled diabetes and my doctor suggested I see my dentist. Why?

The Friends of Strathcona Park will be hosting a hike for the public through the beautiful Bedwell Valley this summer. The hike, which will take five days and four nights, will follow a wild route through the valley which was discovered by the Friends a few years
ago. The dates for the hike are August 4-8, inclusive.
“This is one of only three valleys within the park that go from the alpine all the way out to the ocean”, says Kel Kelly, a director with the organization. The other two valleys, the Megin and the Moyeha, are much
more difficult to access than the Bedwell.
The hike will require two groups, one coming down the valley from Bedwell Lake and another coming up from the Pacific, launching at Tofino. The groups will meet halfway, exchanging car keys to allow everyone to get
back home. “We’ve done this trip a couple of times already”, says Kelly, “and it’s always fun when the two groups meet and share stories of their adventures to date.”
The Bedwell route goes through a variety of fascinating ecosystems, including alpine meadows, a rare
high elevation maple forest, old growth cedar and fir groves and past several magnificent waterfalls. The river itself is never far away.
Hikes with the Friends are renowned for their camaraderie and fun.
There are still spaces available. Hikers must be fit and
are expected to carry everything they need. For more information, he can be reached at 250 337 8348 or at [email protected].
