    It’s Official…I’m Faster Barefoot

    I agree. I ran a 10km race I agree. I ran a 10km race today that I ran a year ago in a pair of Bikilia's and I bettered my time by 3mins. This time barefoot. I'm guessing a years worth of training helps, 3 marathons etc.. But I used to always come away from a race barefoot with a bleeding right...

    I was run/walking in my I was run/walking in my marathon last weekend only due to the heat and the rough terrain and it was my worst time ever. I ran a 4:46:17 marathon in 30C heat . My best time is 4:00:07 in 0C-15C temp where I didn't walk through any drink stations as I tend to cramp up and...

    Question about BF running...

    Try not to go by time or Try not to go by time or distance but rather feel. Nice to have a goal to work towards but better for your feet if you listen to them when they start saying something is going to very painful tomorrow and you will be taking more time off from running than you would of...

    Question about BF running...

    I found on my right foot I I found on my right foot I would twist it just enough that my little toe would start loosing skin and become a bit bloody especially when increasing my speed. I found it was a combo of overstriding on that side as well. So try reducing your stride and let your...

    I Still Can't Believe......

    A week ago I ran my first barefoot marathon. I was confident that I could do it but had no idea what speed I would be able to maintain. I let my feet deicide what the pace would be depending on the terrain. I had a time goal of sub 4hrs but it wasn't a big deal and I wasn't going to kill myself...

    Racing barefoot vs. w/ the minimals? Help need advice :-)

    Love my Run Amocs. Just basic Love my Run Amocs. Just basic 2mm vibram sole with a leather covering the foot with little holes so your foot can still breathe. It has a shoe lace that goes around the leg instead of the up and down the top of the foot. But maybe the newer Moc 3 without the lace...

    Racing barefoot vs. w/ the minimals? Help need advice :-)

    Where do you put your back up Where do you put your back up "shoes"? Do you put them in you waist band of your shorts/skirt? I have tucked mine into my waist band of my shorts on longer runs on questionable terrain but end up with chafing over my butt. Hurts like a raw nipple once your in the...

    Soft Star Moc3 coming soon.

    I've been running in my Run I've been running in my Run Amoc's only since last week but I have put 60km on them already. I've had no problems with them flopping around which is what I thought would happen. I thought about the Moc 3 but without a lace system i think they would be annoying.

    Don't Look Down When Running on Rocky Roads

    I realized this when i was on I realized this when i was on a trail. If I looked down i freaked out to see what I was running on. I let my feet guide me. A big leap of faith from a foot scanner:) But my steps were lighter and i didn't hit many rocks etc. But I find it is a very mental thing for...
