    2 mornings in a row without frost, might be warm enough for some bare footing soon

    Indeed it is. Last night was a fine night up on the moors. I ran out with my junior group who were surprised to see me in pumps and even more so when they cam off, but when the watched me running over the moors and were invited to have a go most took their shoes off and put smiles on the faces. They all loved the freedom and asked if we could do it every week. Fantastic

    Re: :D Barefoot Running

    Am being prevented from training at the moment with plantar fisciitis so I think it's time to have a go at some bf style running in an attempt to improve my technique, speed and explore ways of preventing injury.

    Have started to wear vibram ff regularly now during the day and will do some short off-road runs with them over the next few months.

    When the heal has calmed down will make intervals on grass wearing spikes one of my main weekly training sessions.

    Think this is a good way to break into this type of running.

    Just take it very very slowly.
    50 metres was all I did first time.
    Think about your posture, dont over stride or lean forward.
    You want to be running/jogging upright.

    Cheers inov8.

    I'll try and reign-in my impatience and frustration and think about the big-picture, long-game etc.

    Going back to basics and trying to be self-aware about how I run should be the first challenge I suppose; done over very short distances.

    Tomorrows run will be barefoot. So close today, so close, but the talons stayed on.

    Its now been over 7 months since my last barefoot session, vibrams are good but there's no beating the feeling of mud between the toes...

    Get with nature, ran natural, bollocks to shoes.

    Great picture of before and after barefoot training. Notice how healthier the foot looks after. Toes spread out, feet look stronger.

    Hmmm that foot looks familiar to me...

    This is my foot. Please note that on the before picture while I did not have the fitness level I have now I was about halfway through the training for my 1st marathon. The after picture was taken in last January and I have completed 3 marathons since the before picture.

    When we were asked by a Doctor on Barefoot Ted's forum if our toes have spreaded after transitioning my answer has been after taking a look at my feet that the change was not that impressive. I told the Doctor that I would put before and after pictures in the file sections of the forum. When another member of the forum did an animated GIF of the 2 pictures scaled I couldn't believe that this was true. My 1st reaction has been that it can't be on the same scale. Though if you look at the heel you see this is on the same scale.

    The foot looks definitively stronger.
