    The North Face Endurance Challenge, WI, 50 Mile

    Thanks for the report--well told! That takes me back. A few years ago I did the half marathon on the North Face Endurance Challenge there in Wisconsin, my first one totally barefoot. The ups and downs are so rocky, and it's not natural. Because of the traffic, my feeling is that the Wisconsin...

    Think I broke a toe

    Yep, that's what mine looked like, all bruisy and swollen. Buddy tape it to the next one. It will heal more quickly if you don't run on it for a few weeks (advice I got from the podiatrist).

    Advice for resuming after a break

    I'm in the same boat, I broke my toe in September (kicked a rock). This article from Competitor has worked for me, twice. It starts with walk/run, and gradually eases away from the walk. Good luck, David

    anyone successfully use vivos for mountains?

    I have a pair of Vivo Caminos. I generally run barefoot, but I ran a Ragnar trail in Wisconsin last year in them. The course is in a mountain biking park, and is extremely rocky. The vivos were great. This year I did it barefoot, and broke a toe :-( Maybe I should have been wearing footgear, but...

    Ragnar Trail barefoot

    This weekend I'm running the Ragnar Trail, Northwoods WI, barefoot. This is a hill with mountain biking trails, and they're pretty rocky. There's a good bit of large construction rock put down to stabilize the trails. I tried running it barefoot last year, bit it was too much so I put on some...

    Winter Barefoot Running – Is it for You?

    Great motivator! I'm still trying to find my lower temperature limit. 28 deg and a dry surface is ideal to me. Yesterday at 28 deg, the trail was iced over, and I put my sandals on, which made it less fun. At low temperatures, the road seems kinder to my feet right now. The adaptation is a real...
