    one calf more sore than the other

    Yeah, you've got the pronunciation down just right. I'm starting from scratch w/ running, as I stopped running regularly close to 10 years ago and only did about 3 little jogs in the years between. So the training schedule I have for the winter is really about technique and not much mileage --...

    Thanks for that, JosephTree.... And I also love your signature line -- yup, painted toenails make me run faster too!

    one calf more sore than the other

    Oh, yes. The core. I know, I know -- you are so right. My core is nowhere near as strong as it should be (well, the abdominals part anyway; the back muscle bits are strong -- & probably the imbalance front to back is not good). Mainly, I just hate most exercises for the abs/core! So I shy away...

    one calf more sore than the other

    Neil, just had a look for TheraRoller here in the UK -- looks great (and much cheaper than most of the rollers they sell). Added to my wish list already :) -- but they do have rollers at my gym, so yes will give a go at rolling my calves pre-run. I roll my IT band already; don't know why I'd not...

    one calf more sore than the other

    Ah, thanks, yeah I can see what you mean, Hobbit. I have arthritis in both knees (the thing that led me to transition to barefoot/natural running in the first place), but the left one is the one that usually causes me the most flare ups and pain and, in the past, problems when running. I guess I...

    one calf more sore than the other

    Hello everyone, I think this is the place for my question. I've been running barefoot or in Vibram FFs for several weeks now, starting back in October. I had some coaching w/ a barefoot running coach, who is relatively pleased with my technique. After our session, he sent video...

    Barefoot Running Magazine's Autumn Issue is Now Available!

    I was asking myself the same question yesterday, thinking I had to register or download -- but today I just went to the link above and the image of the magazine cover now says "click to read" and I was able to just read it via my browser window. Hope that works for you.

    Hello from the UK

    Thank you, Technobear! Well, not sure I'd say I've made good progress just yet, but so nice of you to spur me on. I'm looking to see if I can invest in an hour or two of coaching with a local barefoot running coach I just found near me, so I can make sure that I do this right. My main goal is to...

    One Moment Biodegradable Shoe Review

    Oh well, I can't be too hard on these -- not terminally hard anyway -- not chucking mine away, even though I didn't find them good for running. I kinda have a soft spot for them. Because of their price and the brilliant customer service over at Barefoot Britain where I got them, they were my...

    Hello from the UK

    Hi there everyone. I'm new to barefoot/minimalist running, and here hoping to get advice and inspiration. As to running background -- I used to run about 10-15 years ago, but was always plagued by knee problems (which I only recently got diagnosed as arthritis), so it was always up & down, on...
