    Great story - doesn't seem like he transitioned at all, must be a natural.

    Hi Chris, Welcome and thanks for your post in my "Hi from Lancashire thread". Not too far away from you - just north west of Wigan.

    Wow , great to hear that. Will have a read of you blog when time permits. Welcome!
  8. Blisters and technique

    Thanks for that Nick ,its something I hadn't thought about, as I said I have been taking care ( I think!) to slightly curl up my toes before landing and try not to "push off" on them but never thought about them overgripping the road surface and crating extra pressure in between those 2 phases...
  9. Blisters and technique

    Hi Footsie thanks for the advice on both the running/drill and the Vivos. I will definitely try what you have suggested. I have actually been doing the 100up drill for a few weeks now - it as helped allow me to get some running like exercise while suffering with blisters.
  10. Blisters and technique

    Ok, have got up to 10 to 15 mins barefoot but thats it- I then have to stop because I get blisters on the bottom of most of my toes. I know it must be my technique but can't figure it out. I think I am curling my toes up slightly before landing and am trying not to push off of my toes but its...
  11. Hi from Southampton, UK

    Welcome Matt from a fellow Brit and lapsed runner, also fairly new to barefoot and am only training barefoot atm as I haven't managed to find a shop that caters for BFR. I like the look of the vivobafrefoot ultras and would love a pair of Unshoes but as I said its purely BFR atm!

  13. 2012 Mileage Club

    Since I'm late to the game I think my target will be to get up to doing a 10km race by the end of year. From zero to 6 miles barefoot in six months? I know everyone is different but taking the average person is this doable? Anyway have no idea have the mileage total will workout but will...
  14. 100-Up challenge

    I never minded running in the rain when I used to run regularly in shoes (we're talking a good six years ago here) but I'd read somewhere its not advisable barefoot, and anyway most of my routes are dirt so not runnable in barefoot when wet!
  15. Just starting out

    Hi from another beginner - sounds like you are making progress
  16. 100-Up challenge

    Thats interesting Robin, skipping is something I've never really tried and as I said I do need something to replace my barefoot runs when its wet outside so I may give it a try after I've spent some time doing the 100-up. I'm just really interested to see if it works for me. To be fair to...
  17. 100-Up challenge

    I'm giving it a go, if nothing else it will help loosen my hips which I've noticed have been losing some mobility. Also weather here has been awful and stopped me getting out barefoot regularly.

    Thanks Phil:)
  19. 100-Up challenge
