STOP Cross-lacing Your Shoes (Use Bar Lacing Instead)

Each of your feet have 26 bones, 33 joints and over 100 muscles + ligaments! Bar lacing (aka Lydiard Lacing) is one shoe lacing technique you can use to help keep all aspects of your feet working in tandem and healthy. Cross lacing restricts your foot's natural movement and can cut off blood flow and nerve function, nobody wants that! Healthy feet = happy running :) Join the FREE Run Yonder community: https://www.skool.com/run-yonder-6651 Follow me: Strava:   / strava   Instagram:   / seandarragh   Tiktok:   / runyonder   Introduction 0:00 Pros & Cons of Modern Running Shoes 0:33 Foot Strength for Runners 1:04 The Problem with Cross Lacing 1:30 The Benefits of Bar Lacing 1:54 The Origins of Bar Lacing (Lydiard) 2:35 The Aesthetics of Shoe Lacing 3:07 How to Do Bar Lacing 3:46 Tying a Runner's Loop 5:44 Tightening Laces 7:08 Different Shoe Examples 7:35 Let Feet Adapt 8:52 Final Thoughts 9:15 Disclaimer: This content is for educational purposes only and is not medical advice.
