    High Collapsible Arch and TFP

    So after dealing with TMTS I took a good month off of running, and gave in to my (non-BFR-supporting) podiatrist's recommendation to get some arch supports. I figure they might give my feet some time to rest, but I plan to ditch them pretty soon. (I've read more than enough about how they...

    Unicycles and Good Body Mechanics?

    Ok, so I'm loving BFR. It's been great for my knees, which have not been happy since I got Osgood Schlatter's disease. (If you don't know, OS basically means my bones grew too fast during adolescence.) Ten or so years ago I took up unicycling more or less just because I'm a fan of doing odd...

    Barefoot Walking

    I'm really enjoying running bf and minimal, but I haven't quite gotten the hang of bf walking. I've been running with my wife how is new to running in general, doing run walk run stuff. The running is fine for me, but during the walk portion she likes to walk quickly, which just doesn't work...

    Spotting other Barefooters

    So I dropped my girls off at day care the other day and on the drive back I saw a man and a woman running, both wearing VFFs. I don't know anybody else in the physical world who runs bf or minimal, so my first thought was that I should pull over and introduce myself. But then I thought that...

    Eddie Izzard takes the Olympic Torch!

    Hey All- I don't know if there's been any talk of Izzard on this site, but he started running marathons all of a sudden and fairly recently took up barefoot running. He'll be carrying the Olympic Torch for a stretch on it's way to London. I don't know whether or not he'll be barefoot though...

    Is this the tattoo you get after you give up on barefooting?

    Barefooting and High Heels?

    Okay, this is an odd question (especially coming from a guy) but has anyone else noticed that barefoot running has made it easier to walk in high heels? As part of Relay for Life (a fundraiser for Cancer research) I participated in a 'Miss Relay' pageant to raise some money. It was basically a...

    Tendonitis Recovery?

    (I posted this in the health forum, and was told to put it up here as well). How long do you typically need to rest to allow tendinitis to heal? I fell victim to the TMTS mindset and the tendons on the inside of my ankles let me know they weren't happy about it. I laid off running for about a...

    Tendinitis recovery?

    How long do you typically need to rest to allow tendinitis to heal? I fell victim to the TMTS mindset and the tendons on the inside of my ankles let me know they weren't happy about it. I laid off running for about a month, and then started easy running for short distances while wearing my...

    New Barefooter and Splinters

    Ok, so I've been running barefoot for a couple months now. In the last couple weeks I've gotten two splinters, one little wooden sliver and one small triangle of glass (that REALLY hurt). So now my wife is saying "no more barefooting. Wear those shoes you bought" (VFFs). I know these kind of...
