    London BUPA 10k run

    We do this run every year but it's the first time I've ever done it barefoot. I was pacing a mate round to a sub 50 so was able to enjoy the atmosphere more than I usually do and with 10,000 people running and bands round the course there was plenty to enjoy. Nobody made much of an issue...

    Do Merrill Trail Gloves Stretch? Should they?

    The are meant to give you space around the forefoot and be very secure around the mid foot. The idea being that the tight mid foot stops the shoe from moving around and giving you blisters while the looser area around the forefoot gives it space to spread.

    It's finally started to warm up in the uk. I had a stunning run throguh my local park today - bright sunshine, blue skies, cherry blossom on the trees and bare feet on the ground. Perfect

    People's reactions when you run

    My wife is a bit slower than me so when we go for a run together she gets to see other people's reactions. My favourite so far was when I ran past a couple of girls out for a jog. As my wife passed them a few moments later she heard one say to the other "now THAT is hardcore, why aren't you...

    Requests? Will WE Also be Required to File Requests Soon?

    In the uk you can't run triathlons barefoot. Really bizarre given you HAVE to be barefoot from swim to bike!

    Berlin marathon

    Hi all, I'm hoping to run the berlin marathon barefoot later in the year. Has anyone on here done it and can you give any suggestions or tips? Any other tips on the marathon training equally welcome!
