    Skinners 2.0 review

    Well, they are great. Socks with very flexible rubber bottom. Also they have higher edges so they don't get so easily wet, like when walking on wet ground as some thin soled shoes do. Water probably won't get out, though (I haven't tested). Sole is about two millimeters thick, so they are...

    Skinners 2.0 coming..

    First version is pretty good, but lacks some width. Now it seems they have fixed that. Kinda nice to see that minimalist shoes are still popular like this - something like week on kickstarter and well over $300 000 funded (goal was $40 000)...

    My barefoot running technique sucks..

    I started barefoot running bit over ten years ago, back then my running was okay, I didn't get blisters running barefoot and didn't get too much running injuries. Then I found trail running and moved on to mostly using minimal shoes, with some occasional barefoot runs. Also moved to smaller city...

    Eat for heat (book)

    Well, this was interesting book. I would probably steer away for self learned controversial nutrition gurus, after having few failures, but it's just that hard science does not bother to look at or give simple and short answers to relevant questions. I have had this problem of cold hands, which...

    Shopping problem

    I used to buy lots of running gear, but now when I see some interesting new running related product, I get interested like before, but then after a while it just feels like I don't need it, things I already have are good enough, or even better. I have my own preferences that differ a bit from...

    Cold adaptation

    Here's some research of cold adaptation (although the main topic is about fat loss).. I find it interesting how little it requires to adapt a little bit - just ten days. Knowing it is this fast progress without any extreme exposures probably makes it a lot easier to keep motivated long enough...

    Oh, this is quite something. "Children have a natural need for climbing and doing tricks. Bones and muscles of children are soft and supple, falling from chair isn't dangerous. When climbing kid's motor control and own body control gets better.When falling, kid learns caution. Injuries...

    Worst minimalist shoes you have tried out?

    None of minimalist shoes quite capture the feeling of barefoot running, but then there are just horrible, horrible shoes that almost make you cry and feel powerless rage. My absolute worst experience has been merrell road glove. At first it just felt boring to not feel anything of the ground...

    Easily adjustable huarache..

    I have ranted a quite a bit about how huaraches are too slow and inconvenient to adjust.. So, here's a very simple way to make easily adjustable huarache lacing. Just make a knot on sides of ankle where cord goes through sole so it doesn't slide and add cordlock to every section. With this...

    Is it socially unacceptable to go barechested?

    I started to wonder this when I have couple of times suggested taking shirt off when discussing about running in hot weather and answer has been deep silence. I noticed last summer that taking shirt off makes running a lot more enjoyable. And it's not only running that becomes more enjoyable...

    A good race vest?

    I have been looking something to carry a little water and little bit of stuff, it seems that race vests are what I'm looking for - bottle belts just don't work for me and I don't need much carrying capacity to need bigger pack. I have camelbak LR, but it's bottle pocket is not so fluently used...

    Gamifying running

    I have been thinking about this from time to time... In real world there are different kind of running competitions but little other than how fast runner runs the distance. Orienteering has bit of game elements, but it's still on the who is fastest -category. Different kind of sports include...

    Working shoe problems...

    Well, I just needed pair of minimalist working shoes, so I bought vivobarefoot gobis. I started having achilles pain in my left foot. It took month for me to realize that it was not running related injury, although I was running a lot more than before.. So I changed my working shoes to vb...

    McMillan

    This looks like nice little calculator... http://www.mcmillanrunning.com/index.php/calcUsage/calculate It tells you how fast you could run any distance between 1 kilometer - 100 miles (under 1 km times are more like educated guesses) based on your current record time on some distance. It also...
