    Sport Kilts - Hiking and 'The Works'

    If you're like most people, then chances are you've never had the opportunity, nor the inclination, to run without pants on. I was in the same boat only a few short weeks ago, before the opportunity presented itself, and I was able to try it for myself. Luckily for the general public, this came...

    Transitioning to Trails

    Hi all, I've been running barefoot (full barefoot) for about 18 months now, but most of it has been on roads. I'd really like to start taking advantage of some of the local trails, but they're pretty rough. I was wondering if any of you have any tips for transitioning to rough trails in bare...

    So most of my training/reading has been focused on distance running. One area I've really neglected is sprinting. Just wondering if anyone had any tips on where to start learning about sprint training (particularly barefoot)?

    Becoming a Barefoot Running Coach

    Hi all, I've been running barefoot/minimalist for a few years now and have been thinking lately about becoming a coach and showing others how to do it. How would I go about doing this? Does one need a qualification, or is experience enough? Thanks!

    Weird Callouses

    Hi all, I've just returned to barefoot running after a month or so break. I usually run ~8-10k per session, but because I've been off, I'm just doing short 1-2k runs while I get used to it again. Since I've returned to it, I've started to notice that I'm getting callouses right in the center...

    Barefoot Running in Australia

    Hi All, I've actually introduced myself before on the Australian chapter forum, but I thought I'd say a quick hi to everyone else in the world ;) I've been running barefoot and in VFFs since early 2010 and have loved every minute of it. Before I stared to run like this I always hated...
