  1. High cadence?

    Hi All, Yesterday I did a short slow run using my cadence sensor and noticed after that my cadence was around 105 on average (so about 210 steps per minute). It was dark and I was using my Xero Connect sandals. Anyone else found their natural cadence to be "high" like this? When I first...
  2. heart rate monitors

    I use my garmin HRM for all my runs, though I'm starting to find a few issues with it loosing signal. Think I might need a new strap
  3. Garmin Foot Pod with Total Barefoot

    I use the same footpod. I use and elastic velcro strap and put it around my ankle, which I find much more comfirtable.
  4. Merge Shoes -- What do you think?

    I quite like the idea of them. Shame the kickstarter campaign States only deliver in the US (I'm UK based). Might have a try at making something similar, but without the inner sole.
  5. Initial impression of new TomTom Runner Cardio

    If you have an ant+ gps watch (such as a Garmin) then you can upload your activities to certain smart phones and then upload them to certain online services. I do this with my Garmin and my Xperia phone, cutting out the computer step.

    20 minute run in xero connects. Run felt good but tendons (particularly in my left leg) really sore and tender. So going to lay off them for a while till the pain goes.
  7. Mileage reporting 31st week of 2014

    15 minutes run in my new Xero Connect sandals. Tried walking in them first to see how they felt, and was surprised how hard my heal strikes when walking. During the running though that wasn't an issue as I'd already started my transition to barefoot running and knew I didn't heal strike...

    15 minutes barefoot in the middle of a 50 min run. The wet tarmac felt great on the soles.
  9. Mileage report 29th week of 2014

    Short 30 min run with 10 minutes barefoot. That's now my longest barefoot without any problems and quite happy with my progress. What really interests me is that I've been having slight calf pain in my left leg when running which disappears when running barefoot and also disappears when I put...
  10. What races do you have coming up or are you planning on doing?

    Got a 10k "Race the Train" run in Wales next month. Should be fun.
  11. Mileage reporting 28th week of 2014

    8 minutes barefoot in the middle of a 45 min run. However the barefoot section was a mountain bike track with lots of very sharp gravel which really hurt the soles of my feet (particularly the soft middle section) so I decided to walk that bit rather than put my shoes back on early.
  12. My First Triathlon - Barefoot

    Got my first triathlon - sprint distance - in September and if my feet are up to it (I've just started learning to barefoot) I hope to do the run barefoot.
  13. Mileage reporting 28th week of 2014

    Another 30 minute run with 7 minutes barefoot in the middle. Feet a bit tender after this and last 7 minutes barefoot run (and mixed tarmac, some of which is very gravely) so keeping to 7 minutes until that tenderness goes. In the local running park today so lots of interested looks from other...
  14. Anyone alway drive barefoot (or most of the time)?

    I often drive barefoot after an open water swim. After swimming in a loch / lake for about an hour (and about the same amount of time that it takes for me to take my wetsuit off!), I'm often too lazy to put my shoes back on...
  15. Hello from UK

    Thanks for the comments guys and gals. My now slower intro to barefoot running going much better and enjoying the feel of the tarmac again my feet. Never thought I'd say that...
