    Vivobarefoot Ultras vs Neo?

    Yes, I agree do that the Neo sole is tough. But, I found that the Neo was more likely to rub my pads as the foot is able to slip around just a little (& I notice this a lot if charging downhill or going up something steep). If you want to cut the chance of long run pad blisters or minimise...

    Vivobarefoot Ultras vs Neo?

    I have done quite a lot of runs in the Neo (and some in a new "Neo Mesh" sample shoe) and I'm now trying out the Ultra. You can see what I think HERE. Which running shoe do you think is better and why?

    New Book: "Running Desperado"

    Hey folks, I'd like to let you know about a Kindle book that I've written charting my progress over a number of years. It is largely diary style but with a few diversions to talk about ideas behind what's (IMHO) still wrong with some minimalist shoe designs and other stuff. It is not written as...

    Smoothometer - a pedometer Smoothometer - a pedometer that you attempt to use for cadence checking but your foot fall is too gentle for the gadget to register properly. The reading divided by minutes running becomes inversely proportional to how smoothly your foot is landing (i.e. the lower the...

    Firefox grinds to a snail pace

    I normally use Firefox 3.6.15 (under Win 7) but notice that not long after starting a BRS tab and looking at a few forum postings the whole of Firefox grinds to a snail like pace making it largely useless. I tried the BRS site under Chrome and it runs OK except for an error mentioning that a...

    Terra Plana "Neo" anyone?

    I see Terra Plana have a new shoe called the "Neo" which looks a bit like the "Evo" but are less money. For me the main problem with the Evo II was that it rubbed my Achilles heel tendon area (even with socks & a plaster) until I had to give them up. I guess this was not a problem for many...

    I'm no expert and have no I'm no expert and have no experience of your kind of work place. Remember that what I say now is with the benefit of hindsight. When I decided to get into running again I really wish (now) that there had been a demonstration (by someone who knew their stuff of course)...

    POSE Running anyone??

    I read a lot of the POSE I read a lot of the POSE stuff and tried it a few years ago. I think that they miss out some of the critical things to do with proper running that are really emphasised on the how-to barefoot guide. If I'd just gone barefoot I would not have picked up yet another easy...

    So THAT is how I got PF for So THAT is how I got PF for 18 months followed by ~6 weeks clunker running and then another 2 years of PF in the other foot. It must have been in those few seconds barefoot while changing from work shoes to cushiony running shoes. I will never take them off ever...

    Research: Dr. William Rossi article flawed?

    I think that you need to I think that you need to consider the effects of a shoe on walking because if you can't walk on it without it affecting gait then there is a subtle (or worse) problem for running. At the very least it is unlikely that the energy consumed in overcoming the shoe problems...

    Research: Dr. William Rossi article flawed?

    There seem to be loads of There seem to be loads of versions of the paper and people have "tweaked" some. The first one I looked at was text only in a pdf and had the URL of some defunct podiatry site on it (Google 'william rossi "why shoes make normal gait impossible")'.
