    Hi guys, Thanks, the Hi guys, Thanks, the footwear issue is something I'd been thinking about too. I got back my old working boots (steel toes etc.) from before my recently got my white collar status. Seems they're much better for load bearing, but I have to walk a fair bit, and then...

    The mysterious case of TOFP and the missing metatarsal.

    Hi Garret, Thanks man, Hi Garret, Thanks man, feeling like an idiot for going straight into VFF's in the first place. I reckon their time will come though. Its encouraging to hear you got over it so quickly. I swear the pain goes completely sometimes; like this morning when I thought...

    Hi Stomper - well, Hi Stomper - well, obviously my first few months of BFR have left me with what is fairly certainly a stress fracture. While Martial arts helped me discover BFR, they also taught me to push through pain. Nonetheless, I'd like to think Ju Jitsu especially helped to develop...

    The mysterious case of TOFP and the missing metatarsal.

    Hi TJ,Thanks for taking the Hi TJ, Thanks for taking the time. I haven't had any bruising – I went out and bought some Ibuprofen gel this morning and it seems to have made little difference size wise, so if it is swelling (I'm not sure – to the touch it feels that kind of tender...

    Hi… At 7/8 weeks Im a newbie, but have been running in shoes/torture devices for years. I saved my pennies and finally was able to get myself some VFF's at the end of December. After noticing that running barefoot at my old Dojo had nearly no impact on my knees. It was the happy ending...

    Hi everyone. I gotten started with the minimalist running because after repeatedly injuring myself over the course of two half marathons, I wondered why running barefoot for warm ups at the Dojo didn't give me so much a twinge in current injuries. This was around 6 months ago… So I did...
