    Luna ATS Lace Fit Issues

    Has anyone else had trouble with the ATS Lace version of the Lunas? It's like I can't fit them right, either my foot shifts backwards, or it shifts to the side. Either way leads to the Plug being directly under my toe which isn't terribly comfortable. I've tried a tight top strap, and a...

    Hoorag Review

    Today I am going to write a review of the Hoorag. I received a Hoorag free in a contest over at the Barefoot Runners Society. I have used it for 3 workouts now, and I think I am ready to give my opinion. Those of you who have read my blog know that I love skull caps, so it seems like the Hoorag...

    Calf size mismatch

    I have always had big Calves, but it would see that since I started running the right calf has outpaced the left calf in size. It's clearly bigger to me now, I haven't measured it though. In addition, it is the calf that gets tight about a mile in to my run (then usually loosens back up). Is...

    Groin Pain at start of run

    Recently, I began to experience some groin pain right at the beggining of any sort of running motion. I don't really have any pain at any other times though. I haven't done any running (aside from Flag Football practice and a game) all month. On those days, the pain is pretty harsh right...

    KT Tape

    Has anyone tried any of the "KT Tape" that is out now? I picked some up figuring I could use it for my tendon issues if they don't completely resolve before I have to start training again. 12 bucks for 20 strips seems steep, but it only takes 2 for the PT taping I suppose. So 1.20 per...

    Peroneal Tendon Issues

    I was diagnosed with a Peroneal Tendon issue a few weeks ago. So, I have been taking anti-inflammatories, icing it every other day (I forget), and not running or doing squats. I am also wearing an Ankle compression sleeve and using heel lifts in my shoes. Does anyone have any experience with...

    DailyMile Accounts?

    Anyone else here on Daily Mile? I could always use more barefoot friends on that site. My name on the site is C_Dog, so be my friend cause I need more action on my DailyMile feed. And you probably do too.

    Race Report - General Mills Trix Run (5K)

    I just ran the General Mills Trix run in Lodi, Ca. this morning, and this is a quick race report. The race was around the Lodi Lake area, with about half being on a paved(ish) road, and the other half on a dirt trail. I decided to do this race barefoot. It was my first ever 5K barefoot, and if I...

    Tell me how to improve my form

    Here is a video of me running for a few minutes on a treadmill. The speed is 6.0 (10 min/mile) This is not my average pace, but I am trying to run at it. My last 5K (on the treadmill) had a pace of 10:30, and my last 5K in an actual race was an 11:17 pace. Here are two links: YouTube...

    Foot Kiss

    So, I have been running for 5 months now (all barefoot/minimalist) and I still can't figure out the whole running silently thing. I currently weigh in at about 250 Lbs though, so could that be why I am not so silent? My feet don't hurt while running (except on trails because my heel taps...

    Buying Race Pictures

    What do you all think is a reasonable price for a High Quality Digital Image of you from a Race's photographers? I have done 2 races now (sample size bias obv.), and the first race the digital hq copy of the picture was 10 dollars, but they gave you a 50% coupon in the swag bag, so I only paid...

    Sockwa Amphibian

    I did my 2nd run in the Sockwa Amphibian yesterday. It was on a treadmill for 50 Minutes. I wanted to let everyone know that I really liked the feel of them, and the feedback from the bottom of my feet felt extensive. I do most of my treadmill running in InvisibleShoe Huaraches, so the...
