Hello all, I am new to the concept of minimalist running but am very interested in learning more about this. I have a few questions.
1) is a zero drop shoe equivalent to BF running mechanically? I don't think I would ever go completely BF?
2) I currently run 35-40 mpw in regular Nike running shoes. If/when I switch to zero drop shoes how far back do I have to dial back my mpw?
3) what is the best resource for learning the stride/foot landing/etc for the transition? This forum?
4) I am primarily a 5k guy but also do long runs once per week and run the occasional marathon. Is this style good for all of the above?
I am sure that I will have more questions to follow.
Thank you, Charlie
