    Calf Problem....HELP

    I've suffered recently from a I've suffered recently from a reoccurance of an old calf tear - just a strain this time. I rested and massaged and then when I got back to running, I've played around with my gait and have found that if I run on a softer surface (trails not paved paths) and really...

    Funny line for the back of my BRS shirt

    Oh dear, I'm sorry, I do end Oh dear, I'm sorry, I do end up a little left of centre at times - I think it's the Australian's self deprecating sense of humour. I was trying to allude to the fact that when someone points out the bleeding obvious (oh, look, you're not wearing any shoes)...

    Vitamins?

    Wow - I'm sorry to hear about Wow - I'm sorry to hear about that Jimmy - We grow a lot of our own fruit and veggies in our back yard - normal size house block - and have for years, so maybe I'm out of touch with current trends. The additives that the companies add to supposedly 'healthy'...

    I forget Cabballo Blanko's rule #1!! Easy. Week3, day 2 - Rather than focusing on running at 180bpm, I focused on bent knees, short, sharp foot placements and even focused on my head at times. I found that I was maintaining around the 165BPM mark, but felt good doing it. I also found out the...

    Vitamins?

    Who loves the darkness??

    If I hear there is any If I hear there is any howling at the full moon soon, I'll be putting on the shoes for good. Sunrise today was at 6am and sets at 8:30pm - I'm a sun lover, thought I do enjoy running in the early mornings.

    Stretching?

    Guys,My whole point, which Guys, My whole point, which I've obviously totally failed to bring across, is that our body has evolved in a certain way because of what we did. Today's science is spot on and I'm not trying to go against it. I stretch - constantly!! What I was trying to think...

    It's great having an online community who supports BFR. I feel a little isolated here in Melbourne - hopefully as I run more, I'll meet more madmen. Thanks for the feedback - that's what I was thinking and it felt ok, so I'll persist with the jogging.

    Stretching?

    Joshh,It's funny where your Joshh, It's funny where your mind goes when you run. Yesterday I was still thinking along the same lines about one part of the hunter/warm up thing that still stumped me - why do we need to stretch ( and, yes, most of us do) and warm down? I couldn't see the...

    It Was Cold But I Ran

    Running in the heat is Running in the heat is probably the same as running in the cold - it's what you're acclimatised to. I've lived in tropical North Queensland (hot and humid), Perth in Western Australian (hot and dry) and now Melbourne - anything from 0 degrees in winter to mid 40s in...

    Comment by 'Fito' in 'C25K not quite barefoot yet'

    I'm onto week three of my version of C25K - I added two weeks on the beginning to ease myself into it totally barefooted. Keep to the program and you'll feel great in no time. I'll race you to a marathon.

    Barefoot bike pedals

    How about the cycling sandal? How about the cycling sandal? does it qualify as minimalist? I don't like the idea of having my naked feet so close to spinning metal bits. http://www.shimano.com.au/publish/content/global_cycle/en/au/index/products/shoes/mtb/product.-code-SH-SD66.-type-.html

    New Race Format

    I've just come off the Jeep 24hr mountain bike race and was wondering if a similar format exists in the running world. In a nutshell, competitors race around a track (often around the 20k mark for the bikes - about 60 - 90 mins for the average competitor) for 24 hrs and the person and team with...

    Week 3 begins - moving on now - built up to 20 mins (90 sec walk/60 sec run). I'm finding that if I bend my knees when I'm trying to walk, I end up jogging with a mid foot landing - just like my running stride, but at a slower pace. My question to the experienced BFers out there - Is it ok to...

    The Disclaimer
