Barefoot running naturally

Hello, Well things have been a little on the quiet side here as I recover from my ankle injury.   9 weeks later.  Today was my first run post minor surgery, and all feeling good.  Just in time.  I have a 50km trail Ultra to run in Saturday (3 days away..yikes!) then a steady 20km … Continue reading

Another effect of barefoot running..

Whilst in my search for a new pair of trail shoes..I am very specific.. I am failing to find the same pair that I have. Tomorrow I will be trialling a pair of Inov8’s…let see. However as one does when surfing the web, I got distracted and saw a post on “should you run in … Continue reading

How do my feet hold up running barefoot?

One of the main reasons for this blog is to answer questions people raise when they see me run barefoot. To be honest, half the time it takes me a few hours to consider the question before I can answer it holistically.  I am a very pragmatic kind of individual, so when people ask me … Continue reading

Ground Contact – Barefoot to Shoes

Good morning. I have previously mentioned that I now have a Garmin Forerunner 620.  Having never used a sports watch before, and being a bit analytical by nature, I am mesmerised with all the stats provided. So for me to have perfect form and or technique in running, I pretty much need to hit the … Continue reading

Following up with an Half marathon

Oh dear. So yesterday I did an unplanned visit to Park Run and a quick 5km sprint (errr – quick for ME that is). I have had the Fremantle Half Marathon on my calendar for about a month now.  I have not planned for it or trained for it, as the marathon was my last … Continue reading

First Park Run & Technology test

Good evening. Well today I ran my first 5km Park Run.  I think I have previously mentioned that I still have not worked out what kind of runner I am, and or what distance best suits me. I have run a number of 10km runs, and usually make the top 10 females and a 3rd … Continue reading
