    Who's watching the 2012 Tour de France?

    I'm watching right now as I type this. It's on a bit late at night here in Australia for me to see the stage finishes and still be functional at work the next day. But I've just been recording the finishes and watching them the next day. Just gotta be careful not to look at any news sites the...

    Towel Shoes, Probably Not Very Fast Though

    Ridiculosity.

    I often wear my VFFs to work in the library. Got a few questions and comments from my colleagues, none negative. My boss even said they were funky :)

    This made me laugh.

    The confessional

    Mine is due to shod running. Unfortunately I had already done the damage before I discovered BFR :(

    Knee ache

    What really sums up the difference between these two guys: the physio said that it was at my age that he found out running was bad for him. The chiro is my age and he ran the Yurabilla Ultra-marathon last year :) Definitely. Sounds like a great idea :) "Normal" is subjective :P Always good...

    Knee ache

    The first thing he's doing is relieving the pressure on my lower vertabrae by realigning my hips using nothing more than foam wedges shoved under my hips while I'm lying on my stomach. He's also using directed pressure on my neck and tibia to help get them in line.

    Knee ache

    Ok wow. The chiro got xrays taken of my spine. And lets just say my spine has more curves than Kate Winslet. And that is putting pressure on my lower spine which is pulling my hips out of alighnment which, in turn, is affecting my knees. The good news is that its fairly early stages of spinal...

    Knee ache

    Ok so I saw the BF-friendly guy today. I gotta say I was quite impressed. He was really nice and friendly (unlike the other guy I saw the other day who seemed to be friendly, frustrated, a little grumpy and a touch condescending all in the space of 10 seconds) and he took a much more holistic...

    Knee ache

    Hehe. When he said that to me, I was already saying in my head "yeah we'll see mate". I ended up making an appointment with the barefoot-friendly chiropractor tomorrow so I'll get a 2nd opinion from him as well.

    Knee ache

    Ok so I had my first physio appointment. It went well I think. He gave me several stretches and strengthening exercises to do to basically give my knees the best conditions to heal. My muscles are pulling my knees out of alignment. I asked him whether the ache in my knees would go away and he...

    Knee ache

    Yeah surgery was last on his list and basically said it wasn't worth it given the long term problems it would cause. It wasn't so much transitioning too fast that caused it as the initial injury occurred before I started BF running. I stupidly did a 10k race when I should've known better. That...

    Knee ache

    Actually I just double checked and it's actually a BF friendly chiropractor not a physio :( . I'll contact them and see if they either do treat knees or if he knows of a BF friendly physio.

    Knee ache

    Thanks guys. I thought I'd feel happier knowing I dont need surgery but it did get me really down yesterday. I asked him about cycling and he said so long as I dont grind up any steep hills I should be ok. Which kinda sucks because I really want to do trails on a mountain bike rather than road...

    Knee ache

    Well I had my appointment with the specialist today. He reckons I've blistered the cartilege on the underside of my patellars. Thankfully surgery isn't the best option (short term gain, long term problems). He wants me to see a physio for exercises etc and see him again in 3 months. He said it...
