  1. Ball Chaffing

    When I was training for my marathon a couple years ago I started out at about 230 lbs and got down to 217 by the end of the season. I noticed the leaner I got ,the less chaffing there was.

  5. Tips for trail running barefoot

    My main goal this next season is doing trail events barefoot. However the one that will need the most focus is mostly all Limestone mixed with small gravel (hurts worse than large gravel imo). I live next to railroad tracks so I did some toughening drills running on the stones they lace with...
  6. Does “Lifting the Foot” Make Us Slower?

    Only my opinion, but I agree that beginners need to practice the "lift the foot" in order to reduce the amount of friction they're used to being able to have in shoes. Obviously thats the main cause for so many blisters, after that, I feel the form evolves to what its meant to be over time...

  13. Oscar Pistoruis - unfair advantage?

  14. Shift workers...
