  1. Do people ask to feel the bottom of your feet?

    I had a co-worker comment she thought my feet were probably caloused from all the bf running and walking I do (on my lunch break, they all get to see). I was in the middle of tying my shoe so I slipped it off and showed her. She was surprised when she didn't see any.

  2. The reason why I stopped running barefoot ..

    For winter I wore VFFs along with coat, hat, gloves. For the hecklers that I work with, I just think about the fact that I can run (many of them sit out side smoking while I run) or the fact that they need to run barefoot or not. My fam ran their mouths at me a bit at first but they eventually...

  3. Warning - Offensive Words - Words We Shouldn't Use on this Forum

    This whole thread reminds me This whole thread reminds me of an episode of "Benson" where some senator was pushing a bill to get offensive books banned and Benson voted against the bill. Seems like some things never change they just change form. Bill

    I wear my stems to work. I I wear my stems to work. I work in dialysis and don't think I could get away with vff's and most of my co-workers think i'm nuts running barefoot during my lunch break. i'm with you on the style/color issue. I've been wearing mine pretty much since their launch. Bill

    I havent told my wife that I I havent told my wife that I want to lose 15 lbs, want to run a race bf or at least run it minimalist ( though I suspect she thinks it). Come in in the top 10? Might be more impressive if it wasn't 4thg in a local 5k with coffins on my feet. Bill

  7. I just want to run.

    I thought the same thing. I I thought the same thing. I ditched my ipod, water bottle and shoes when possible. I'd like to ditch my garmin and hrm but i'm still kinda stuck on keeping track of the details. My metronome is on the verge of going bye bye. Bill

  9. Kid Tested, Doctor Approved

    I was at the track today barefootin it when I was flagged down by a man who turned out to be a doctor at a nearby hospital. We had a nice conversation about barefoot and minimalist running. He told me about a number of his friends that were going minimalist and it was working out good for them...

  10. Hip Flexor Issues

    Jonny, I was plodding (for Jonny, I was plodding (for me) along at between a 9:30 and 10:30 pace. I did a speed run today and had almost no discomfort. But then again, most of the time I dont feel it until much later. I'll pop back in and compare my regular run results and speed run results...

  11. Hip Flexor Issues

    Hello everyone. Last week I decided to pay attention to what everyone keeps telling me and just relax during my running, to let my body do its thing and try to land without pain. That worked out good for a couple of runs, my at issues almost disappeared. Then one morning the at was back and my...

  12. What is the worst thing you've ever stepped on?

    I didn't step in it but I ran I didn't step in it but I ran past what looked like a used tampon the other day. Bill

  13. An unexpected benefit

    Here's a benefit I didn't expect from my humble attemps at BFR. My knees used to crackle whenever I would go down stairs to the basement. About a week ago I noticed a lack of popping. Its not gone completely but the sound is noticably reduced. And my at seems to be fading away as well. Now that...

    My natural cadence without my My natural cadence without my doing anything is around 175-178. I got a metronome through the chi running web site earlier this year. Kept the metronome but decided against chi running. Bill

  15. Cadence Question

    Hey Mike, I guess I did sound Hey Mike, I guess I did sound kinda confusing. I was just trying to compare the different ways of landing and came aacross a result I didn't quite understand. Bill

  16. Cadence Question

    I understand that landing I understand that landing heel first is a bad idea. What I don't understand is why don't I experience pain landing that way at the lower cadence but do experience it at the higher one. Bill

  17. Cadence Question

    Morning all. Just a quick question about switching to a higher cadence. I've been running for about 3 years and almost completely barefoot since May. In all that time I never really had any pain when I landed on my heel using a 180 cadence which almost matched my natural beat almost perfectly. I...

  19. I'm Confused

    Paleo, I think you were Paleo, I think you were right. I tried using that image yesterday and was sore for a while afterwards. Not sure what I did different. About the cadence I had read 180 all over the place and when I got a metronome I was so close to that number naturally I just stuck with...

  20. I'm Confused

    Thanks all for your replies. Thanks all for your replies. I was thinking that if I studied how the big names did it I would be able to pick up a few things. One thing I thought of is from time to time when I land with my foot out in front I also feel like I am pulling the road towards and past...
