    Zazzle Store Additions

    Hey everyone! I've added in some merchandise to the store using the vertical logos. They also have the BRS url on the back. I've added them to many of the shirt options, but I've also set all the images to be able to be added to any merchandise and editable, so you can add them to anything you...

    Training to run by not running: what's your week look like?

    After a pretty rough year of not running much due to random injuries (that have nothing to do with bf) I'm almost fully healed up. I'm hoping to do another 50k in the spring, but I don't really feel like putting in the 80 mile weeks I was before when I did them. I know there are a decent number...

    On May 6th 2012 the 2nd annual International Barefoot Running Day™ is going to take place.

    Malibu Creek 50K (and 25K)

    http://www.pctrailruns.com/event.aspx?dtid=4619 Has anyone run this to know what the terrain is like and how friendly it is? I know a lot of it is fire roads, which here normally indicate huge boulders which aren't really all that comfortable to land on. If I don't do something stupid between...

    Altras

    So if somehow this already got discussed recently and I missed it, call me stupid and either point me to the thread or tell me to look harder. I've been sort of out of the loop the last month or so, but I went back in and didn't see anything and was suprised to not see much discussion on it...

    Running around Europe. (not barefoot or minimalist related, just looking for some advice from people

    I'm going on a trip to 3 week trip to europe pretty soon and I'd like to be able to do some running during it. The first part I'll be in Charmonix france so I'm rather certain I can find me some amazing running areas and its out there a bit so I'm not to worried. But I was wondering about the...

    Love it when things like this happen

    I went out for a morning bf run and a guy passes me in new VFFs. These things looked so new I was surprised not to see a tag hanging off them. We get to the corner and he stops, stretches breifly, takes off shiny new expensive shoes and turns arounds and runs back home barefoot :-D

    What is the worst thing you've ever stepped on?

    It seems as if one of the most common "dangers" of barefoot running that everyone insists exists is that we are going to step on something that will obviously lead to certain death or at least dismembermant. But honestly I just don't get it. I've only gotten one thing embedded in my foot and it...

    Do 50ks always hurt?

    So I ran my first 50k yesterday. I used my new balance minimus and they worked pretty amazingly. It would of actually been a pretty friendly trail to do in huaraches, all except for one little part that hurt a bit even in the minimus, but since I had no clue what it was going to be like trained...

    Making an achilles notch?

    So I got my new balance minimus trail and I almost love them alot. They are pretty fantastic for trails, ok on hard packed dirt and well I don't run on pavement in shoes that much so doable for what I need them to do there. However I have one massive issue. They rub really really bad on my...

    NB Minimus

    So there hasn't really been any chatter about these. Has anyone tried them or is everyone holding out for a zero drop version? I tried them on the other day and liked them better than the merrells because of the lack of a rock plate. But the only thing that kept me from buying them is that...

    Feasible?

    Before I got hurt I was toying with the idea of a marathon, but as is standard for me I had a bunch of possibilities and had no way of deciding which to do. Then when I was hurt there was only one that I was actually sad that I might not be able to do so I decided that would be my goal. But I'm...

    Well played Ms. Mountain biker

    Fun conversation of the day. Setting: Me and four mountain bikers are standing by a trail head debating about whether to risk getting a ticket because apparently it's been closed since the floods here like three weeks ago. I'm in my huaraches. Me: Well I guess the do patrol closed trails...
