Hello everyone. Im from Kentucky and new here but not new to running. Took 14 years off due to knee/ meniscus issues and am back at it with a new(to me) running style. Im the obsessive type that fully immerses in my hobbies and just discovered the benefits of barefoot running.. Got some xero ztreks and earth runner circadians to start, began pulling not pushing, upped cadence to 180's, began striking forefoot midline with knees bent........and my knees feel great!!! My calves have finally broken in to 2miles with only a little soreness.....the first run I couldnt walk for 2 days hardly. Used to run 5ks in the 15's, but only managing 8:30 miles right now. Lost 26 lbs so far and feeling great!!!! Very glad to be here!!! I might be doing too much too soon, but ive missed pain free running so much I just cant help my self. Hope this site has alot to offer.
