Barefoot in Central Park and Other Interesting Links

Saw a NY Times blog post about Christopher McDougall, who wrote Born to Run, the book that got me thinking about barefoot running techniques. (It is also an fascinating adventure story, although the gonzo writing style was a little much for my taste - I recommend it.)

Also found the McMillan Running Calculator, which recommends paces for different types of workouts based on your times for various races. It also calculates predicted times for many race distances. There seems to be a lot of useful information there on training, although I haven't dug into it yet.
