    My wife is running Boston in Vibrams...how's the surface?

    Thanks guys! BFGent, the most I've ever gotten out of here barefoot is a mile and that was 2yrs ago. I'm still looking for the right leverage! ;o)

    My wife is running Boston in Vibrams...how's the surface?

    My wife got a charity bib from her company to run the Boston Marathon. She just did the Cowtown Ft Worth Marathon and the bricks and chip seal areas gave her some trouble...made her nervous for Boston. Has anyone run it barefoot or in vibrams that can weigh in and put her mind at ease? Much...

    Has anyone done this race? Curious if the 3 loop half marathon course is barefootable. Thanks! -Jonny

    Looking for input about how to run after unusual effort yesterday

    Go out slow. You'll feel better in a mile or 2.

    Looking for feedback

    Is there something that is making you question your form? Are you having pain or blisters? You may have better luck with having a friend on a bike video you from the side and then swing in behind you at about mile 2 when you're in a rhythm, while you run how you normally do. Then post it on...

    Will I be excommunicated for this?

    Yes...get out! ;) Bro, if you don't think you're ready, that's all you need to know. If you don't think there is any way you can fail, then THAT is all you need to know. We got your back, either way. -Jonny

    how to start

    Start slow. Quit before you want to and rest till you're not sore any more. Be barefoot as much as you can be. -Jonny

    Transitioning thought - shoes off at the end or start of run?

    Since you're transitioning back, I would suggest the start of the run. Then practice the way it felt to run correctly while in shoes. If it's cold, maybe start in shoes till you get a sweat going, then pull the shoes for the distance you are up to barefoot for that day. This is all assuming...

    Don't shorten your stride!

    My opinion is very basic. Do what feels good and you can sustain for whatever distance you have chosen on any given day. My form has evolved over the last 14mo and changes depending on how far I'm going and if I'm out for fun or out for speed(such as mine is). Who has ever looked at a barefoot...

    Barefoot Marathon, Done!

    Don't you get a belt buckle for most Ultras? I might try the Cowtown 31mi next year, if my next marathon goes better... -Jonny

    Mortifying question

    I saw something similar at the memorial race. Dude was wearing Texas flag shorts... That's just not right. He went straight to the bathroom and washed them out in the sink. He cut a pretty fast time, but that sink was a no fly zone the rest of the day! You couldn't tell when he went up and got...

    First 5k

    If pressure on the top of your feet could be causing this, the LS versions with laces may help. I agree with ditching the shoes, though. I just prefer barefoot, though. Congrates on your first 5K! That's where my addiction started to take hold! Next thing I knew, I had more weekends with...

    Mortifying question

    I've personally had the opposite affect with Chia seeds. They seem to slow things down for me. Imodium kept me going in my marathon, which was my longest run to date. I've also heard from a few sources to get up early and give yourself plenty of time to go before a longer run or a race. Let...

    Barefoot Marathon, Done!

    Pintboy, I do a lot of running in the dark here in Texas in the summer time. Coleman has a decent head lamp and AAA batteries are not as heavy as you'd think... BF Brit, I have MacGreggors on my mother's side, shortened to Orr when they came to the states. I just like the feeling of running...

    Barefoot Marathon, Done!

    Thanks y'all! A lot of the surface was tight rain groove and well worn chip seal, so really not bad. The rest was bike path and a few smaherings of nasty stuff I avoided by jumping over to the side walk till it got better. If you'd asked me a year ago, I would have said there is no way I'd...

    Barefoot Marathon, Done!

    LOL, I know, Mig... Just a quick one from the pool. I'll get on the play by play once I have some pics to go with it...
