    Zem Gear (ZEMS), NB Minimus Trail Zeros, WHERE DID THEY GO???

    It's been a long time since I've been on here and I apologize. Been running Barefoot/Minimal since late 2009, did a lot of races BF and transitioned to Ultra's. In the last few years I have worn out all the shoes I used to run in and I have no idea where to go from here. Of course I try to do as...

    NCR Trail Marathon RR: Sparks, MD (Zem 360's)

    In my mind, the race began at 1:00am sharp when we the Lloyd Dobler Effect ended our set at the Hollywood Casino H Lounge at Charles Town Races. From there, I packed up immediately and took off in my Honda for home and a brief rest only to be pulled over 1 mile down the road. It has been a over...

    It’s Official…I’m Faster Barefoot

    I may have run only 1 marathon in shoes of any kind, and I may have only beaten my record by 32 seconds, BUT I am still faster barefoot than I am in shoes. Now that’s not to say I won’t be faster one day in some minimal shoes like my ZEM 360′s or Merrell’s, but for now...

    Zem 360 vs Soft Star Moc3

I am really looking for a shoe for light trails although road review are good too since the winter is coming up and although I am determind...

    BF Insult and Inspiration

    Most of the time, running barefoot around my area (Maryland/DC), other parts of the country, or races elicits a wide range of remarks, comments, questions etc. I've heard many typical phrases and questions and read plenty more on the boards over the last 20 month. This week though I had 2...

    BF 2-A-Days...Anyone do them?

    I'm thinking about working in a 2-a-day once or twice a week, very slowly to help build some weekly millage and keep my body working. I find that I want to run 6 days a week, but with a hectic summer schedule, I am missing 1 day yet having 1-2 days where I am free to run twice, hence making up...

    This fall, I will be running 2 Marathons with 15 days in between. Baltimore on Saturday, October 15th, and Marine Corps on Sunday, October 30th. I wanted to know if anyone had advice on what to do between. I usually rest for for the first week with a few 1 mile SLOW runs and walks to loosen...

    Zems/Socks Before Barefoot in a Marathon???

    I promise this will be my last selfish, whining, marathon topic. I've decided to go ahead a run the full Marathon in Charlottesville next Saturday so I'm fully committed. My question is raised by looking at the weather forecast and considering the early 6:30am start time. My feet are in...

    NYC Marathon: Anyone Applying, Running?

    So I've applied for the NYC marathon Lottery for the last 2 years, and I'm not quite holding my breath for this year, but I know I WILL eventually run this race with their rules on lottery applications. You can be turned down up to 3 times and then you are given a spot in the 4th year. Anyone...

    Undertrained for Charlottesville Mar. Should I Run?

    Hello everyone! I know I saw some suggestions on here earlier about running a marathon when slightly undertrained. I believe Abide had only a few weeks to get millage in for a BF marathon at some point. I have been registered for the Charlottesville, VA marathon on April 9th for a long time...

    ZEM First Impressions

    Hey all! Just made my first few runs with my new ZEM's. I ordered a mens medium first and they turned out to be a bit too big for me based on my foot size. I exchanged them (very easy and quick turn around) for mens small even though I wear a 9. My first piece of advice would be to order a...

    From .125 miles to 26.2 miles: Marine Corps Marathon Race Review

    In my mind, I am not sure I had ever convinced myself that today was actually going to happen. 364 days ago (the day after my first marathon) I was reeling in pride and confidence, ready to take on another 26.2 mile distance and it only took one (1) small training mile to cripple my dreams of a...

    The Barefoot Marathon...Suggestions? Tips? Comments?

    Hello friends. So I'm attempting to run the Marine Corps Marathon on Oct 31st. I say attempting because let's be honest, anything can happen at a marathon. I've ran this race last year (shod) and I have recently driven a major part of the course to see the BF friendliness of it. It appears to...

    Pain Under my Pinky Toe and mild frostbite from Icing (NO!!!!)

    Just wanted to see if anyone has had this issues with the bottom of their feet. Under my left Pinky Toe, I have pain, but it's about half an inch below the toe joint. It's almost like the pain is on the bone down there, but I am having a hard time pin pointing it's location. It almost feels as...
