Intersting stuff! Well tgeres that great film "the way back" where survivors walked 1000s of kms, great film and a true story. Ive walked a fair few kms in my life but 48hrs non stop?! Thats true mediation,no other way?! Ive not looked into the built in stamina of humans, me though, I only run when im being chased hahaha

The Question Is Not Why People Have Anxiety, But Rather Why Not More People Are Paralyzed By It
Hehe. You should read born to run. I started wearing only barefoot shoes after that..and it has helped my feet a lot. Not that I had a lot of problems, but I could get fatigued after prolonged standing (possibly faulty vein valves in the calves) also struggled with my ACL and meniscus. Now? Almost no problems. If something, I'm getting stronger and better every day.
There was actually a norwegian guy called Mensen Ernst (bizarre name..mensen means the female period..lol..and I didn't even know anyone was called that..anyway) He was a legend and possibly the inventor of ultra marathons. He ran distances from Paris to Moscow and England to Damascus. If I'm not mistaken he ran Paris to Moscow in about two weeks. He only stopped twice. Once where he was arrested and put in jail. He then escaped and continued running, and then had one stop before reaching Moscow.
He ran errands for a king (french or spanish, I dont remember) and he wanted to show that he could do it much faster than horses. I'm not quite sure how the story went, but he was found dead from one of those diseased they died from in the past..stumach cramps and bacterias in the water near the river Nile. And was buried there by some tourists who found him. lol.
This was in the early 1800s I believe. Just incredible story. And not that ancient, so it's all legit and did really happen. Wish they made a movie about that guy.
I loved the film (and the book) the way back..I love all sorts of survivor movies :)
Yeah...must be mad meditation. Wonder what happens to you when you just keep going like that. I think the farthest I've ever walked is about 7 hours straight. But I was 10, and I did see a melon tree in the middle of the mountain in Norway, so...definitely meditative :D

fe fean! what and this story is this book "Born to run?" thats like forest gump meets papi :) fucking mental story, ill look out for that! maybe theres an audio book even better!
I cant wait to walk barefoot again, this is real therapy! Free reflexology, better balance thus better posture and more grounding (literally!) ah I miss that but SOOOOOON its possible :)
I just realised also that my mind, when someone says "walking long distance", instantly counts that as carrying 20kg atleast in a huge rucksack and carrying a guitar.. hihi! Not carrying anything would be much easier to walk 24 hours nonstop, much much easier hahahahahahhahahah dam hobos!

He mentions the norwegian guy in "born to run". The book is mostly about a south american tribe who just were insane runners. And he writes about the american long distance running community (who were a bunch of freaks :) and then he organizes a run between the best american/european/western runners and the south american indians...
And dude, you should invest in some barefoot shoes. I used these ones the entire winter. I put in some wool soles..omg Ive never had such comfy shoes. 100% waterproof, warm..excellent room for feet. Simply the best shoes I've ever had. I used them EVERY day this winter even for playing with my kid..literally every day. And they are still in great shape. Pretty sturdy shoes.

And for summer I use Lems..Awesome looking and like walking on clouds I promise you. They have a little bit of sole, but very minimal. I bought 3 pairs. And I'm going to buy more..these are the shoes I'm going to fucking wear until I die.

I was thinking the last days that I need some shoes for the summer, im 10 hours a day on my feet!
First I thought you were meaning them feet glove type shoes but im loving the summer idea! And they are a nice price for some good shoes - the only things apart from crypto or silver worth spending money on :)
Is there a shop in Oslo selling these ones in the middle there? Wish it was already 5 years from now where they would accept crypto on that site, but sadly im not a bank card holder lol!

Those lems look very comfortable!
Is there any store that has them in Oslo ?
Never bought Lems before and sizing can often be hit and miss when ordering online.
