  2. Long races elude me

    Indeed and thank you, Dr.! I do think I added too many miles and too soon (again!) I get bored with the same mileage and find myself pushing it. I must be more patient!

  3. Long races elude me

    Thank you so much for this thoughtful and considered reply! I deeply appreciate it. I haven't experienced the foot pain you did, as I feel like I sussed the short stride thing pretty early on. If anything, my feet tend to feel better the longer I run. However, I think my stride may still be...

  4. Long races elude me

    Fine by me, TJ. I didn't know where to put it!

  5. Long races elude me

    And by long I mean anything a half-marathon and above. Every time I get up to about the ten mile mark with my running I get injured. (My latest is a 5th metatarsal stress fracture.) What exactly am I doing wrong? I'm dying to do a barefoot half or full marathon but I feel like it's a...

  6. 5th Metatarsal Pain - Any chance of running HM in three weeks?

    I have the same thing and saw an orthopedist about this yesterday. She pretty much said I had a tiny stress fracture at the top of my fifth metatarsal and tried to scare me with talk of a 'Jones Fracture' which I don't have -- at least based on my symptoms.(She was also peddling the fiction that...

  7. Hostility

    Wow. The lengths people will go to to condemn others is pretty remarkable.

  8. Hostility

    Anyone else experience this while running? I was heading along a bike path -- well to the right and allowing for bicyclists' right-of-way -- when I heard someone behind me angrily grumble, "You gotta get some shoes, pal". I turned and saw a cyclist approaching. As he passed, he yelled, "You're...

  9. Transitioning

    Small update and reply: So I went out three times in the Altras and by the third run I decided I hated them. I took them off two miles in and walked barefoot the rest of the way home. They felt bulky, constricting, deadening. My plantar pain continues off and on and yet I just don't want to...

  10. Transitioning

    Thanks for the replies, folks. I do feel that my technique is good. No real way to demonstrate this on here, but I really thought I'd sussed it this year. I started running (shod and wrong) in January of 2015. By April 2015 I had a stress fracture in my left knee and pf in my right foot. (I...

  11. Transitioning

    So I had a long talk with an ultramarathoner friend of mine. I shared with him my frustrations with plantar fascitis and he suggested the following: 1. Barefooting on concrete will wreck your feet. 2. Barefooting past ten miles anywhere will wreck your feet. I know his opinion is just one of...

  12. Plantar fascitis

    Well, I only met with Libensohn once, as his prices were too high for me. So it's really tough to determine where he was going with his consultation. But I got the sense that we were going to be embarking on a lot of core work. I ran 9 miles this morning and as per the norm, I wasn't...

  13. Plantar fascitis

    Boy, am I confused now. I thought smaller strides were key with barefooting. I've been trying to shorten my striding since coming back from my last injury (stress fracture, right foot, December 2015) and I really thought I'd solved the problem. I saw Dr. Craig Libensohn back in January or...

  14. Plantar fascitis

    I fear this is happening to my left foot. I've been so damn careful in terms of my running and I thought I'd just bruised my left heel somehow, but it hurts all the time and has been like this for weeks. I thought wearing my night splint would kick it, but it hasn't done anything. Once I'm up...

    Those are so gorgeous.

    I love Vevos. I've got these: http://www.vivobarefoot.com/us/mens/everyday/gobi-ii-wild-hide-mens?colour=Black I love 'em, but sounds like you may want something different.

  17. Long Beach Marathon 2016

    Well, left hell or left heel, it hurts. I wore my night splint to bed and did 8.39m this morning, pain free! Whew!

  18. Long Beach Marathon 2016

    Fingers crossed. I'm starting to get some left hell pain. I fear it's plantar fascitis again. But I may just choose to ignore it if possible.

  19. Long Beach Marathon 2016

    I love mine. You can get them with a lambskin "insole" so they're super-smooth.
