My name is Tyler. I've been running for 4 years I'm a junior in highschool and do xc and track. I've been wanting to run minimalist barefoot for sometime but the only thing holding me back is my coach. I have a pair of xero shoes and a pair of vibrams I have run in during the off season. However, the short intermission between xc and track doesn't allow me to make the transition to barefoot running. I've been wearing nike free runs in the meantime and still get lectured by my coach but soon I hope to make the full transition.
