  1. YAMR (running and learning)

    Did another MffR on back to back days, just to see how the body responded. Maffetone emphasizes proper rest as being equally important to anything else one does in training. Yesterday, I asked, rhetorically, since I am running in the aerobic window and therefore no breakdown of the muscles...

    Neil, My target is 130, which is 125 +5 for the "category d". I can stay right at 130 most of the time on hills, and can stay around 125 on the flats -- unless I speed up a little. I guess the idea is to improve the aerobic effeciency of the muscles as well as burn fat. My understanding is...

  3. YAMR (Yet Another Maffetone Run)

    OK, today it was +5C, which is far better than the -8C and -6C of my previous runs. Due to a pretty heavy cold and the cold weather, I had not run in 10 days -- seems like an eternity. This was like starting over on the MffR (Maffetone Run). The splits were above 14 minutes again, but based on...

  4. Second Maffetone run...

    It was 21F (-6C) when I went out today to run at 4:30AM. I decided, after Sunday's run, to limit myself to 4 miles, due to time exposure and no sunshine (afternoon run on Sunday). I read that the MUCH slower pace of adjusting to "heart rate" running was maddening, but I want to be a better...

    my VFF Flows performed well in the snow for me today...feet were cold after over an hour of running, but not numb...

  6. My First BRS Blog post....

    I have been a minimalist runner (VFF) for two years. I run barefoot on occasion, my longest run being 3 miles (5km). I have enjoyed running like never before, and racked up miles and distances like never before. Heel-toe was too painful for me to be a consistent runner; i thought it just wasn't...

  7. BOFP

    Thanks for the insights and Thanks for the insights and suggestions. Not ready for BFR yet, though I have tried it once (too much weathered concrete!). The comment about running with pain affecting your gait, and that possibly leading to other injuries was a particularly good reminder...

  8. BOFP

    OK, I read a lot about Top Of Foot Pain (TOFP), but what about Bottom Of Foot Pain (BOFP)? I am a MR, and have logged about 500 miles in VFF-KSOs. I usually run on "well-behaved" surfaces, such as one finds in greenbelts and urban trails. Two days ago, I did a "forest trail run", which was...
