One reader of my blog “Thayne” wanted to know how much traction Vibram Five Finger KSO’s have. Well since it has been raining and muddy here in St. George I can give you a clear answer. NONE! In mud they are like ice skating. In fact I would rather run barefoot than in Fives on [...]

When I 1st Started Running Barefoot

When I first started running barefoot in 2006 I noticed a few things about the condition of my body the next day after a run when I woke up. My calves, my achilles, and the bottoms of  my feet were achy and tight. I would have to do a series of stretches each morning to [...]

900 Miles on Vibram Five Finger KSO’s

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Running, Shoe Repair on October 12, 2009 | 7 Comments »

Running = 850,
Cycling = 90,
Walking = 40

As a former heel striker, and a clydesdale athlete, I am used to destroying shoes to the point that they must be discarded into a bin of well loved shoes after only a few hundred miles. Every once in a while I find this bin and pull out [...]

When you run barefoot you can expect to feel some aches and pains in your feet and ankles when doing some hard training — especially when you wake up in the morning. At least that is my experience. What I did not expect was blood in my urine when I returned from a fast 8 [...]

My Dad had a heart attack directly related to diet and stress in 1992, and again this year he needed a number of stents put in to open some severe blockages. 200907021528.jpg I made some changes in my life, like taking the stairs instead of the elevator, and doing a few repeats up the hill on my bike every day, but I kept the Mountain Dew habit, and the stressful job. … We were under direct orders to eat everything on our plate, and if for any reason we left food on the plate we were served up a good dose of guilt “don’t you know people are starving in Africa.”

Half way into the Sapper Joe 50K I was craving carbonation. I was saving a can of Guru for after the race and I slammed it during the race. The craving did not come back even after the race. So I thought I would put up this poll to see if any of you out [...]

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Minimal Shoes, Running, Training on May 26, 2009 | 3 Comments »

Here is a couple of pictures from running up and down Angels Landing in Zion’s National Park. I brought my Five’s as I thought the surface might be too rough. Did not wear them.

What good is a run without pushups at the top.

The run on the way back. Steep and fast. The [...]
