Diet and Barefoot Running Health

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Fatherhood, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Nutrition, Running, Training on July 8, 2009 | 10 Comments »

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 [...]

Familial Eating Patterns

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Fatherhood, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Nutrition, Running, Training on July 3, 2009 | 1 Comment »

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.”

Do you crave carbonation while running?

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 [...]

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 [...]

Spring in full bloom – New Trail

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Endurance, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Running, Training on April 29, 2009 | 4 Comments »

There is a new trail next to Barrel Roll, in Santa Clara, that I discovered last week.  I realized that this trail did not exist a few weeks ago. I was completely stoked to make this discovery, thinking to myself, that this trail rivals the best in Southern Utah. I found the trail while on [...]

Eating – Belly Fat – Endurance

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot Running, Eating, Endurance, Nutrition, Running, Training on April 20, 2009 | 9 Comments »

As a Clydesdale endurance athlete I am struggling with how to ditch my belly fat. I am putting in longer and longer LSD runs and my muscle mass increases, my body fat on my arms, chest, and legs decreases, but my belly stays the same. If I eat too little I crash. My Garmin typically [...]

I have an out and back run into Snow Canyon State Park from my home that I just love. The last time I ran it, I was barefoot, in preparation for the St. George Marathon. So in preparation for the Salt Lake City Marathon I put this 16 mile run under my belt again barefoot.

350 Miles on Vibram Five Finger KSO’s

Posted in Adventure Running, Barefoot, Barefoot Running, Five Fingers, Minimal Shoes, Review, Running, Training, tagged on March 16, 2009 | 22 Comments »

Before running the St. George Marathon I buried my Huaraches in the desert. So I was left to run my favorite trails Barefoot. So I was quite surprised to find a $100 gift certificate in the mail from www.wasatchrunningcenter.com for a pair of Vibram Five Fingers. It was like early Christmas when they arrived last December.
Since that time I have [...]
