    Favorite foot massage routines (rated PG)

    Now I'm increasing my mileage (albeit measured over here in km, but kilometerage as a word sucks...), my feet, calves etc are getting quite tense. I know I should be massaging them more than I am, and then I realised that I really don't know much about how best to massage for sports purposes...

    Wondering if anyone can help here... I'm very much left-sided (no jokes now - you know what I mean!) and notice that I tend to land just a bit more heavily with my left foot than my right. It's not much, and I don't land hard in general, but it's enough to mean my left foot gets a bit more...

    TapaTalk MySQL syntax error

    Hi, Just gave in to my iPod's constant advice that there was an app to make accessing this forum better, and installed Tapatalk. But I'm getting a MySQL syntax error, apparently around ")" in line 2, whatever that means. Any way of looking into this to make my 79ct well spent? Cheers!

    Greetings from Lübeck, Germany

    Hi everyone, Thanks for letting me in - I'm just starting with barefoot running and am grateful that this community exists. Bit of background: I used to be fairly sporty (fencing and cycling more than running) but last year started to try running more. While training for a marathon I started...
