    Marathon: alternatives to goo and sports drinks

    Just to confuse things... "electrolytes" should not be confused with "glycogen" (see OP), nor with hydration. On any given day, a person's needs will likely vary based on temperature, humidity, attire, intensity, time, distance, etc. I prefer to manage fuel, hydration, and electrolytes...

    Stiff muscles when starting out

    Yep, nothing a good 15-min warm-up won't cure. Steadily increase your heart rate over that time from rest to walking to brisk walking to trotting to jogging to running. While we *can* jump right into activity, it's typically better if we don't. A nice gradual warm-up will give blood flow time to...

    Toe Spacers

    I have something like 70 miles on a pair of Correct Toes... Helped a good bit in getting rid of a "clenching" compensation I'd developed while dealing with an injury. Not so sure they'll do anything to otherwise help space my under-lapping pinky toes. (Of course, the maker suggests that this...

    Stem Footwear

    Stems look like old lady Stems look like old lady shoes to me - especially in the colors they've chosen; the only other horrible shoe color missing is taupe. But, perhaps you guys don't care much about wearing old lady shoes.

    Stress Reaction - ok to walk barefoot while healing?

    Just remember ... every time Just remember ... every time it feels sore like it did after today's hops, you've likely undone some healing. (At least this is how I HAVE to chastise myself to keep me out of too-little shoe [said the girl who is now taking a couple more steps backwards in her...

    They do stretch a bit... They do stretch a bit... enough to make a size that *might* seem a hair too small be just right. If you have a "floppy foot bag" now, it will likely get a bit floppier. They're very good about exchanges (as long as you don't mind paying postage). Do give them a call...

    Stress Reaction - ok to walk barefoot while healing?

    Not a doc.Based on my Not a doc. Based on my experience (1 met fracture and several met "stress reactions" [2 confirmed by MRI])... I'd say to do the supportive shoe for at least a week - give the bone a chance. At this point, the bone regeneration process hasn't been able to keep up. The...

    Road Glove or Bare Access?

    Nyah - not everyone has the Nyah - not everyone has the same foot shape as you. The Merrells work fine for me - even though the sole outline of the Merrell sole doors not match the overall outline of my foot, the sole does match the part of MY sole that contacts the ground and the upper does...

    Hornet's nest: Swatted.

    Ugh.I make it clear to all Ugh. I make it clear to all that I (mostly) run in shoes; and often (wx permitting) run barefoot. Now, injured (again) and poised to start my comeback, I'm hearing a lot of "good shoe" and "proper shoe" wishes from my non-running friends/family. And, FWIW, I'm now...

    Barefoot TJ wrote:Olive oil, TJ- was that a troll? Did you just KNOW I was itching to 'splain?!? Basically, yes - fat contributes to fat build up. Ingested fat facilitates a variety of metabolic processes. What isn't used is subsequently stored as fat, which can later be used to fuel...
