  3. Ouch! WTF?!

    ^^^Sigh^^^I would be ^^^Sigh^^^ I would be surprised if it takes that long. There must be some part of me that enjoys injurying myself in such consistentely stupendious ways. I'm gonna keep running after I allow myself some rest for the upcoming 10k; it seems to be better the more I move...
  4. Ouch! WTF?!

    So, last week I was running a 10k and it was a bit cold but i'm getting accustomed to it. However, towards the end I guess I was not really feeling it and had a hard time keeping relaxed form, next thing I know I step directly on a rock. My god did that hurt; first time ever. Guess I need to...

    Were I you, I would cease Were I you, I would cease taking the antibiotics and just monitor the infection. Apply topical anti-biotic cream as suggested. It shouldn't require draining more than once coupled with the cream. If it doesn't seem to lessen in redness and sensitivity, or becomes...

    It's Official...I'm Faster BarefootBy Bruno Runs I may have run only 1 marathon in shoes of any kind, and I may have only beaten my record by 32 seconds, BUT I am still faster barefoot than I am in shoes. Now that’s not to say I won’t be faster one day in some minimal shoes like my...

    Must be awesome to be able to do that without hurting yourself. During the cold months, my form and speed suffer horribly and I end up hurting myself and having to rest for a week or two. Cold temps just make everything hurt; I'm impressed you were able to do it in the cold. How long have you...

    I'm a bit confused as well. I'm a bit confused as well. I keep hearing "don't pick up your knees" and lift your foot before you place it. I think I know what is meant by it and it seems to make sense when I see videos but it feels really odd during execution. I know I BFR with my knees not...

  12. My first 10k race coming up and questions

    Advise from other barefoot Advise from other barefoot runners is always welcomed! I'm capable of doing the 10K (under 60mins) and it's a cheap, local race so I'll do it. Even if it's cold. I can handle the cold much better this year. It'd be nice if I can eventually get to a point where...

  14. My first 10k race coming up and questions

    So, I'm gonna do my first 10k race, ever, barefoot on turkey day. My focus has been on short speed runs no more than 4-5k and one longer run (working up to a 15k) per week. I've broken a few barriers as far as speed and distance are concerned and can now understand how and why some folks...

  18. A strange thing is happening

    Sooo, I've had muscle burning in my right quads for several weeks. It's the type of soreness you'd feel if you were to work a muscle and it starts to burn as you reach a limit. I'm adopted a training schedule to help deal with it and it seems to be helping but it's very slow and I physically...
