I am a barefoot runner ...How's the foot doing? I am a barefoot runner and have been so for 5 years. I do not run in minimalist shoes. While I have run in such shoes, I find running with a naked foot provides better feedback on running form. It also prevents you from overdoing running when your foot is too weak to go it alone (your soles will prevent you from running too far over the several months it takes them to toughen). I'd be glad to share my barefoot knowledge with you. You can reach me on Facebook at Dayton Barefoot Runner. Just post your question and I'll answer it. <br /><br />All the best<br /><br />Doug<br />Dayton Barefoot Runnerdbrandt4https://www.blogger.com/profile/09624556350749301822noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038102861141664593.post-60696651900933839102010-04-23T12:36:49.560-07:002010-04-23T12:36:49.560-07:00Hey... thanks so much.

That "Born to Run" book did something to me and so I do think I'm through with regular sneakers, but I am going to take it REALLY slow.<br /><br />Hope you have a good weekend!Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04336075811142995699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8038102861141664593.post-68173235932911541862010-04-22T15:38:21.585-07:002010-04-22T15:38:21.585-07:00I feel your pain. We started the barefoot running ...I feel your pain. We started the barefoot running about the same time. I put my regular sneaks away and went straight to fulltime Vibrams...BIG mistake. I was back and forth getting calf pain. I put the Vibrams aside for about 2 weeks. This time I am taking it in moderation. Today I ran about 3 pain free barefoot miles. Tomorrow, back to shod running. Keep the faith. I'll be watching.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
