    Returning to Running

    I had stopped running and after a couple of months, Im back(use arnold Schwarzenegger voice). Went for a 5ish mile run in my spiffy invisible shoeshuaraches and limped to the shower in so much pain. The cord between my big toe left a little burn and a couple of blisters on my foot, but not to...

    Winter

    I live in the Southern Hemisphere, which means winter is coming. Since you guys just finished winter, I would like to know if you guys could share some tips on winter barefoot running. Is it dangerous to just go out there and run in the cold? (-5 to 8C*)

    Train for a 10k in 8 Days.

    A month ago I stopped running due to knee pain. Yesterday I found out there was a 10k and I will run it. Barefoot. I suppose I will start by running on the beach. Put in some miles on there and get the mojo of running again. Then slowly transition to the road where I could try 8k 4 days before...

    Runners Knee

    I believe I have this because I over trained. 2 days ago, I was warming up and my right knee suddenly started to hurt. It hurt so bad, I had trouble walking home. The next day I had to go to school and I have to go up 4 flights of stairs to get to my class and I could barely bend my leg. I have...

    Barefoot = Poverty

    In Uruguay, there are hundreds of people living on the street and most of them are barefoot or in flip-flops and the culture here is extremely materialistic. Not only that, majority of the robberies here are from teenagers. When you combine a running barefoot teenager and snotty, materialistic...

    Thorns

    How do you avoid thorns? Especially the ones that are little balls of thorns that are in the grass waiting for a foot to grap on to. They always make me cring and stop my perfect rythmic run(Most of the time).

    Bleeding In Vibrams

    I just got myself a brand new pair of Vibram KSO's. The first day I ran with them (14th), I did some sprints and trail running. I ended up bleeing on back of my foot, above the heel. That thin line behind the ankle. So I put some athletic tape and went out for a 9k run(15th) and the tape didnt...

    My first barefoot race ever! :D Here are some details of the race and I thought Id share some useful tips about what I learned during the race. It was about 32C degrees(that ugly dry heat) and there were no trees to cover you or any type of shade. There were 2 hydration spots, 1 at 5k and the...
