  1. Too Soon To Run?

    It's just another variation on the "when can I run again?" question that we all ask. Pain is gone. (It was very low level pain to start with.) Swelling is reduced, but not entirely. Can I run yet? After my last "long" run (3 days ago, in reduced shoe, not bf) my ankle was a bit...
  2. Metronome Question

    Can anyone here recommend a good metronome for running? I'd like to use one to track/increase my cadance. The few I've seen are either huge or shrill. I'll get a small, shrill one, if no one can recommend a good one, but I'd rather have one that didn't annoy me. Thanks in advance, G...

  6. Leg length discrepency x-training qestion (cycling)

    I hope this is the right place for this question... I am still super-excited that my leg length discrepency doesn't affect running BF. But (especially while I'm transitioning) I'd like to be cycling, too. Now that I don't wear any orthotics, I'm unsure if I should still use anything...
