    How can I start to love running again?

    Chaps & Chapettes, During the second half of last year; when I first started running, and then minimal/BF running, I really enjoyed running for the most part. Yes, I had some runs which felt a bit tortuous and I was getting the kms in just because they were on my training plan, but I also had...

    Hello all!

    Hey guys & gals! I've been absent recently... Well for a couple of months or so; ever since I did this: It was a pretty stupid accident - slipping on some wet stairs - and I wasn't even drunk! But it left me with three torn ligaments and absolutely no desire to read about everyone having...

    Where on earth is Chaser?

    Have I missed something? Has he been banned from here too? Did something happen during one of his and Talon's weekend mountain camping trips?

    How to film your form?

    I'm really trying to make a go of BF proper this year (now the weather is warming up) and want to sort out my form so I can lose the twist in my ankle which causes me to tear up my soles. For this, I think it would be beneficial to get a video of me running so I (and then maybe you lot) can...

    One Moment Biodegradable Shoe Review

    They're crap. Perhaps I should expand a little... Since these are about £8, I took a punt and ordered a pair. Shoes that arrive like this show promise: However, once I had them on, my fears regarding the toebox were proven to be correct: Ouch. Despite the material being incredibly...

    I can't BF slowly...

    I just went out for another cheeky once-round-the-block, totally BF this time, and really tried to 100% concentrate on my form. I tend to twist my feet slightly if I push off at all and that results in some pretty gnarly blisters on the balls of my feet and a couple of my lower toes. So when I...

    Need some casual trainers/sneakers

    I've been plodding around in my Vivo Aqua Lites for everything for the last 6 months. Unfortunately, I spilt a bunch of magnetorheological fluid all over them at work and now they look a bit scrappy to be wearing casually, so I'm in the market for a new set of trainers. I like the Vivo line...

    Anyone else reading but not running?

    I hurt my achilles weeks ago and I'm seriously busy at the moment so haven't been running much, but I'm still keeping up with the forums. One the one hand, it's depressing reading about everyone running with no problems, but on the other hand it's inspiring me to keep up with my exercises so I...

    Foam Roller

    Anybody able to personally recommend a muscle roller? I've tried using all cylindrical objects around the home, but most are to small in diameter. Also, my wife doesn't approve of me rubbing my sweaty, post-run body all over her stuff =P So I'm in the market to purchase something for...

    Travelling to Toronto & Phoenix - Any Tips?

    I'm going to be in Toronto this week on business, and Toronto & Phoenix for three weeks in March with evenings and weekends free. I understand it's pretty chilly in Canada at the moment, but I obviously want to get some running in to get some foreign Garmin traces =P I'll be staying near...

    Persistent Achilles Pain

    Hi All, Sorry if you read this anywhere else... Cross-posting because I need all the help I can get! I noticed that I'd injured my achilles about 3 weeks ago now, so I stopped running completely. I tried to keep my weight off it entirely for a couple of days, then slowly used it more and more...

    Weekly Mileage 12/11-12/17

    Extremely windy 19.0km @ 5:40/km. Been ill for a couple of days so nice to blast that out of my system =D

    Hello from the UK

    Hey! I guess one or two of you might recognise me from RW. I'm not a fan of over-zealous moderation, so after lurking for a while, I think I'll try and post a bit more here and a bit less on RW... For those of you that don't know me: My name is Andy, I'm a 26 year old chap from the UK...
