you JUST saw this? I think he wrote his "race report" over a year ago. My favorite medal was the second one: "I didn't shit myself and that's what matters"

I think we all (endurance athletes) need to be cognizant of where we place our priorities. It's easy to give more precedent to training than to more important aspects of our lives: family, religion, friends, sleep...

Re: Top 3 Most Disappointing Running Shoes of 2012

I bought the MT110s and have not had any problems with posterior tibialis tendonitis. That is a condition that I have battled with for a couple years, so I am pretty attuned to the warning signs. Overall, I would say the MT110s have been great trail running shoes.

Re: 200 Rental Bikes will Roll in Uptown Charlotte

This is a great step toward making Charlotte a truly bike friendly city. Now, let's expand the bike paths beyond 4th and East. Perhaps even connect a few.

we'll see. I thought about this too - triathlons are EXPENSIVE. I had some friends that did a small "super sprint" triathlon that cost $65. At least marathon prices (outside the major ones) are reasonable.

And thanks!

you ran through my old neighborhood. I lived right by the Seaport and the Battery was were I started almost all of my runs. (sniff)

I'm so jealous that this just opened. We lived on Gold Street for 5 years and just moved out of the city recently. It looks great though.

Nick, this idea is NOT for you. I don't want you to have a mental breakdown, so don't try it.

Ben, that's a great article. I threw it in Instapaper and finally read it yesterday.

Thanks, Ian. I'm going to take some time off from marathon training and work on getting faster. I should be nice and fresh for a fall marathon PR.

Re: On Running Form II: Where Should Footstrike Occur?

dnorton — Wed, 18 Aug 2010 10:13:32 -0000

This is a great post, Pete! I would also like to add that Matt Fitzgerald is a proponent of the proprioceptive cues to help improve running form and economy. He has a whole chapter devoted to them in "Brain Training for Runners" (which, BTW, is the book that got me started on the minimalist running approach before "Born to Run" was even published.)

I'm definitely going to be subscribing to his blog. Great post on the problem with modern shoe engineering and classification.

I'm surprised that he lands well in front on his hips. It's not as far as a heel striker, but it's noticeable.

Re: Running Barefoot and in Vibram Fivefingers: New Runner Starts Minimalist

Michael, I should have known... I should say "we should get someone to become an unofficial moderator/promoter" for a BFR/MFR group on DailyMile. I think the groups are a second thought for most people unless they are part of an active group.

Re: Running Barefoot and in Vibram Fivefingers: New Runner Starts Minimalist

dnorton — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 15:45:43 -0000

I had a very similar process of discovery about the benefits of barefoot and minimalist running. I never quite abandoned regular shoes, but I run a good portion of my miles in VFFs, and I throw in an occassional barefoot run.

We need to get a DailyMile group going to for BFR/MFR enthusiasts. I know there are more than a few of us around.
