1. how long have you been a barefoot/minimalist runner (specify which)?
1 year

As i dont run in the winter, I would say 5km weekly half the year. (this should be higher - see 4)
3. what is your injury prevention regimen (stretching, foam roller, etc.) rate your use 1-10, one being very low, 10 being very dedicated?
Stretching, strenght exercises, massage and balance exercises. Dedication: 4 - should be a ten
4. what injuries have you sustained and when? (ex: week 4 of running barefoot/minimalist, PF) rate injury 1-10
Week 3 - stretched a ligament on the outside of the achilles. 3 weeks recovery. Rated:3
Week 8- TOFP - graduall recovery over 4 weeks. Rated:2
week 15 - Broke my ankle 3 years ago - thought everything was ok, but it now seems that loss of flexibility etc. Is making my calf hurt when running - rated: 6 Still no recovery - hence the low weekly milage.
5. how long did it take you to really overcome injury (back to previous mileage/week)?
Still not recovered (more than 8 months)
6 input: short response with information about injury (due to wearing regular shoes at work, VFF caused problem, TMTS, etc. this is subjective I know.
To much too soon and previus injury (broken ankle)
