    Not barefoot but very inspiring!

    Aside from the shoe no shoe talk, as I turn 50 and am on my 2nd year of running I am having a blast and never see age as an issue. And yes many seniors that ran the NYC marathon serve as an inspiration. But the story of Kevin Dwyer who suffers from Cystic Fibrosis tops my list for a truly...

    What are your thoughts on minimalist shoes for running in packed snow?

    Well for now I'll be using my Well for now I'll be using my lunas with toe socks. I do have Evos II's and they are great, but after 4 miles my feet feel cramped and numb on the sides. I just ordered a pair of RunAmoc Dash in size 12, which is 1/2 size bigger than my usual shoe size but...

    What are your thoughts on minimalist shoes for running in packed snow?

    Wow thanks for the nice Wow thanks for the nice discussion on "Snow" shoes. I am a bit surprised nobody mentioend the Trek LS. But I'm kinda glad as I'm finding the vibrams (at least the original size I originally purchased) just too restricting. I really like the idea of wool socks...

    What are your thoughts on minimalist shoes for running in packed snow?

    Trying out different minimalist shoes to get ready for when the snow hits the ground. So far my order of preference is Barefoot, Luna's, Invisible shoes... Tried bikilas but they feel tight, my feet may have grown a bit since I bought them. Looking for good water resistant shoes, as minimal...

    Running in colder weather

    Well last year, I ran Well last year, I ran barefoot down to 25f then stopped once the snow got on (and stayed on) the ground. I was only doing up to 3 or 4 miles and I could quite at anytime as it was loops around my neighborhood. Now that I'm going 10+ I want to run all the way thru...

    winter running

    Hi Bessmehring, For me last Hi Bessmehring, For me last year I ran barefoot down to 25 degree weather. What worked for me was to bundle up in layers and good running pantsshirts, hat and gloves but kept my feet bare. They warmed up within 5-7 min and stayed warm. But I did not run once the...

    Article: Five stages in your run and how to deal with them By 7ships

    Hi 7ships, Excellent write up. I pretty much agree, in fact I went to a similar analysis as I did 9.5 miles yesterday two days after doing a 7 miler at the NYC Barefoot run 2011. Your writeup made me clarify a few things. It was also my first run with a metronome, and that made it a bit...
