    Thanks for all of your Thanks for all of your help! My runs are pretty slow as I've been focusing on technique, so doubt I'm going too fast. I've had ITB issues in the past, so am pretty careful about stretching them. My left is noticably tighter. I'm going to run on a treadmill tonight so...

    Pain in the butt!

    I have run improperly in my VFF for about a year. A few weeks ago, I learned how I was suppose to run barefoot or with VFF. The new technique is not yet natural, but I feel great when running. However, my glutes, especially the left side, are amazingly sore. I even had some nasty muscle...
