    Guinness World Record BF attempt

    A fellow runner at Fort Bragg sent me this very interesting link to a guy who's trying to achieve two BF world records this year - 50 BF marathons in a year, and 10 on consecutive days. I'd call those rather aggressive goals, but good for him. I don't know if he's a member of our illustrious...

    Sockwa G3 Review

    "I won it - it's a major award!" As the randomly chosen winner of the "test my shoes" giveaway on the Gear and Footwear forum, I got a pair of these to test from David Zasloff (company founder). I was a little skeptical at first, as I had tried running in water shoes before and was not...

    Thank you for serving, vets!

    There are a lot of us here, so thank you all for your service and sacrifice. Even veteranarians.

    Joint Special Operations 10K

    I got to run this one on Veterans' Day. The course followed a series of tank trails through Fort Bragg training areas. Killer hills abounded, along with loose sand and pointy golf-ball+ sized gravel in 2 long sections. Out of 668 runners, we had probably 40 in VFFs, with another 40 or so in...

    VFFs and San Franciso Happy Meals

    There's a striking comparison occasionally being made here that I'd like to clarify. I am a fairly new BFRer (3 months, the last month of which I've been on the bench with a left foot stress fracture). I have focused on learning to run BF form correctly by following the textbook methods of...

    Need a certificate - I've joined the stress fracture club

    Left foot, center metatarsal head. I caught up with a young Marine toward the end of a VFF 3-mile run the other day where I was doing fine and minding my own business. He wanted to sprint the last half-mile, picking it up even more the last quarter-mile, and I foolishly kept up with him. He...

    LTC Rex Hall Returns

    I had the privilege of running at Fort McPherson with the recently-moved-away Colonel Rex Hall today. He had returned for the day in the course of his travels, and I bumped into him as he was headed toward the gym with another mutual friend of ours. He ran barefoot, and I ran in VFFs the first...

    Another newbie - Phil Hart

    I'm an old soldier who got out of shape for about 7 years after leaving the Army, where I was in pretty good shape for 9 years. Working with retired Marine First Sergeant Henry Forrest, one of the original IronMan triathletes from 1978, I finally developed enough shame to start running with him...

    left heel blister

    I'm an old soldier, so I've been running for 25 years, all distances, all speeds, with or without weight, road or forest. I'm no stranger to running. But I've developed a right hip problem (confirmed over-use induced arthritis plus who knows what else) that has pushed me to try to find a way...
