    Mileage reporting week 52 of 2014

    Haha...if I was Dama I'd say take some ibuprophen, put your big girl panties on, and get out there and run...recovery is mental too lol On a more serious note though, I go at an easy pace but a high step cadence...182 BPM step cadence whether I am going uphill or down, fast or slow...I weigh...

    Mileage reporting week 52 of 2014

    Hi Tristan...thanks. Regarding doubts, it's all mental bro...quit telling yourself how tough it will be and start telling yourself how fun it will be ;-) Another advice is to not treat it mentally like a race...treat it like a nice long fun run without time or pace mattering. I'm treating...

    This week is a a big mileadge week for me...my last big week before slowing down for a couple weeks before my first ultra Jan 10. It will be a PR mileadge wise...I wanted to go big to test myself, and becuase the work schedule is light this week, and the wifey is in Brasil for the holidays so I...

    Barefoot beach running - video

    Well done vid....but even better is the foot strike :-) You are landing with a nearly perfect barefoot foot strike pattern...mid foot, and rolling from the outside of the foot inward. Really good.

    HBO Real Sports on Barefoot Running

    The reality is that if everyone did what was good for them, obesity would not be so prevalent. People often have other motivators besides what's good for them, and throughout history people have shod themselves in self destructive ways just to be a part of the latest fashions... Folks who want...

    Chimera 100 - Nov. 15th, 2014

    Very cool Rick. We seem to go at about the same pace...if I can make the time limit qualifier, wanna have a go at the Angeles Crest 100? Also, if you are going to keep wearing shoes, check out the Mizuno Evo Cursoris really great toe box, and is a super cushy shoe while still being super...

    Th Thanks Rick...if my progression is fast then it's because of one thing...In-Joyment...I really try to run joyously...and that mental mindset overcomes all the normal things that come up that slow people down or demotivate them. A big part of running joyously for me is running without...

    My Barefoot Bio

    Hey Phil....thanks for lending your voice to the cause ;-) Now if you could just help get the word out to a few hundred thousand junior high and highschool coaches that would be a big deal...too many kids getting damaged by indoctrination into running with toe cramping padded boards on their...

    Weak Soles

    Tender soles likely mean that your form is not quite right...a good rule of thumb is to keep running when it hurts, just run in a way that doesn't hurt ;-) This will force you to continually make fine adjustments until your form is such that it doesn't hurt to run. Try slowing down the pace...

    About 11.25 miles today, slow and easy except about a mile and half of treadmill hill climbing...the rest was street miles.

    Hello everyone...I missed you haha. Been to busy balancing running and working and family life to visit the forums :-/ Running is going well...I get in about 2 hours everyday of the week except an occasional day off. On the weekends I do a long run of between 18 and 22 miles, and a second run...

    Mileage Reporting 46th Week of 2014

    Hey Rick, thanks....I was freaking myself out by looking at the mileadge too much, so I stopped tracking it altogether, and am just looking at heart rate nearly continuously, and occassionally looking at the total time ran. I turn on the GPS for about a mile at a time occassionally to check my...

    Mileage Reporting 46th Week of 2014

    Hi everyone, Thought I'd check in... I'm doing the maf method so no real mileadge to report....during the week I run for about an hour in the morning, then 30 minutes at lunch, and about an hour in the evening, I take a random day off a week when I feel like it. On the weekends I have been...

    Mental imagery

    When I want to run faster...I imagine energy coming into the front of my body and out of the back of my body...or sometimes a rope tied around my waste pulling me forward by the hips. AS for being tired...I don't get tired mentally too much when I run....I'm pretty good at dis-associating...

    Avalon 50

    Very cool Rick, and thanks! They also do a couple of trail marathons a year, one in the November and one in March. I've been reading race reports online, and there are many accounts of 'interesting' run-ins with the Buffalo....apparently they like to spook the humans that come running...

    Avalon 50

    Will do TJ ;-) I've been to Catalina Island many times, but never to the interior...I expect a very scenic run, but am curious to see how the trail surface fairs with skin to ground. One thing that suprised me on my first overnight stay there, was that the wildlife has no fear of humans...
