    "heel" pain

    Hi, the VAST majority of my miles are in very minimal shoes with a couple barefoot/VFF's thrown in. I follow the "style" of evolution running. I've been running like this now for a few months and I love it so much more than the heel pounding that I used to do. Recently I've noticed some pain...

    road and tredmill mix?

     I'm considering getting one I'm considering getting one of the NordicTrack incline trainers (or seeing if the local La Fitness has them since we can get a membership through work for $30). Living in S. Fla there are NO hills of any sort. Maybe some bridges, but even then they're not that...

    TOFP... I have to ask the obvious question.

     Thanks TJ, I think I've read Thanks TJ, I think I've read it all before i even started, but now that I'm actually doing these things it makes much more sense. I will be incorporating these into my next run.

    TOFP... I have to ask the obvious question.

    I know it's "Top of the foot" pain. What is it exactly though... bone, muscle, tendon, ligament? Is there a particular area of the top of the foot that the pain may occur more than others? I'm having some... that's why I ask. Is rest the "cure"? Any other places that I can be pointed...

    Horrible run last night

    Nah... it was normal Nah... it was normal blacktop, the same that I've been running on since I started (only 3 or so weeks). I think I know that I was doing wrong... I'll give my feet another day rest and give it another go tomorrow! Ha... I didn't see the other Mikee yet!

    Horrible run last night

     Thanks for the advice and Thanks for the advice and kind words. I can see that this process is going to test all the patience that I have, both from dealing with these events as they come and also from not being to be able to get out there and run XX miles/week. I can say though, that last...

    Horrible run last night

    Well, I am only a couple weeks into the running stage of transitioning and last night was a disaster. I don't know exactly what I did wrong (in hind site maybe I do), but my feet are tore up! No actual blisters, but the balls of my feet are so sore (just after the end of the toes). I also...

    1st run (bare)!

    Last night was my 1st barefoot "run" (if you can even call it that). I decided to follow the "lose the shoes" plan that I saw at rw. 1/4mile sure is short, but it felt good. the only thing that really stuck out that I need to work on is my forefoot landings. It felt like when I was landing...

    1st post and question(s)

    Hi All, 1st post here... I've been a RW and birthdayshoes lurker for a while now. I guess barefooting sparked my interest because it just looks like fun, I've since read of the possible injury reduction. I've had PF pain on/off for years now and has at times stopped me from wanting to run. I...
