Jason’s Books
The Barefoot Running Book provides expert advice for new and experienced runners interested in making the transition to barefoot or minimalist shoe running. Why? Because runners find shedding their heavy, overly-cushioned shoes provides a more enjoyable running experience while reducing injury and improving running form.

This new expanded second edition includes training plans, information on ultramarathons, photos, tested running tips and helpful hints. This edition includes contributions from top barefoot runners and experts including Barefoot Ted McDonald, Barefoot Rick Roeber, Dr. Daniel Lieberman, Dr. Michael Nirenberg, Dr. Mark Cucuzzella, Dr. Scott Hadley, Dr. Joseph Froncioni, and more!

I’m interested in translating your book into Spanish. I’m preparing to work on an MA and PhD in Spanish Literature and the work would be a good brush-up for me. If it is something you would be interested in let me know.
Gracia y paz,
