    I wish I could have followed up this 100 with another marathon or similar feat (like the 15K pulling my two daughters in their rickshaw after the One Day Run For Hunger) but this time an hour long run on the beach had to suffice. I'm working on my race report (about 30 miles in so far) and so...

    Comment by 'Zeke' in 'Making sure the feet still work'

    Well, nobody said it was a GOOD idea! Yes, I know what I'm doing: going into a 30 hour slog fest of late night existential crisis. Maybe it's good for the soul. My success rate at writing race reports is low but somewhat improved since I started blogging. Still have Western States' on the old...

    AC100 is the Angeles Crest 100 Mile Endurance Run. And what exactly does it take to run 100 miles? Conventional wisdom is that if you are physically able ton run 50 miles than 100 miles is primarily a matter of mental endurance and know how. The first 50 is in your legs, they say, and the next...

    Making sure the feet still work

    Went for a run today. Ordinarily that wouldn't be news but somehow I went the last 7 weeks with little more than my daily barefoot shuffle to pick up my veggie and brown rice bento for lunch and the round trip between my office and my car. A reliable mile or so a day I can always count on. Even...

    Research project on injury rates between shod and unshod runners

    Hello all, I'm taking time out from writing my race report from running the Western States 100 Mile Endurance Run this last weekend in my VFFs to lend my support to a student research project looking to see if there are significant differences in injury rates between shod and unshod runners...

    How do you do your chia?

    On my 24 hour run a couple On my 24 hour run a couple weeks ago the foundation of my nutrition strategy was a chia fresca made with 1/4 cup each lemon juice, agave nectar, and chia seeds filled to 32oz. My day to day hydration is the same except without the agave nectar. I also put it on...

    What are your favorite minimalist shoes?

    My trusty old red My trusty old red VFF Sprints. I've never quite got the hang of my huaraches and my beefier VFFs are fine but get pulled out only when beefier footwear is needed.

    My favorite light

    For trail running in the dark For trail running in the dark I go with a two-light setup, one on my head and one on my waist. I like a lot of light because I've kicked a stump wearing Vibrams before dawn in an ultra and saw through time. I like to have my hands free for my water bottles too...

    Conditioning?

     Matt - I've never heard of Matt - I've never heard of someone finishing 100 miles barefoot and Ken Bob doesn't have anyone listed either under distance or timed events. I am looking for an appropriate venue to try in 2011. What do people think of Ken Bob's assertion that the soles of the...

    Races planned for 2010

    Jason, I'll be wearing my Jason, I'll be wearing my Vibrams as WS. If I'm feeling really minimalist I'll start out in something other than my Treks, like maybe my KSOs. I have nowhere near the confidence in a long barefoot trail ultra to set out on an opportunity as rare as WS100 without some...

    Goals for 2010

    I hit some pretty significant I hit some pretty significant goals in 2009, with a mountainous 100 mile trail run in Vibrams and my first barefoot marathon the following weekend. In 2010 I want to start seeing how I can narrow the gap between my barefoot and minimalist running. I don't think...
