I was wearing slip on water shoes to run in and didn't want them sucked off my feet in the muddy creek crossings. The duct tape worked and I came home with both shoes :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169460908351248051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-11864471212555323882010-08-05T01:12:19.060-04:002010-08-05T01:12:19.060-04:00I found my form and fell in love with running agai...I found my form and fell in love with running again in bare feet. I run better barefoot but if I want to run doubles for a week or push a 50lb spawn in a stroller on hill work day, I need some shoes. The more minimal the better but shoes are tools.<br /><br />you don't use a fat blade to cut a thin slice or any other tool related analogy . The tool has to be appropriate for the job. So far fat ass trainers have not been the appropriate shoes for keeping injury rates down. <br /><br />Duct tape, a towel, swiss army knife, and trash bags are the most handy things in the world to have around.<br />I think flats are a great alternative.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15169460908351248051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-42665449455094260972010-08-04T13:46:06.504-04:002010-08-04T13:46:06.504-04:00I'm loving all the info and your take on thing...I'm loving all the info and your take on things... especially working through injuries, attempting to work on my form and work into minimalist shoes myself.

No, really seriously, most runners throughout the millenniums have had some form of protection on their feet. The crime of cushioned footwear has been thrust upon us in the last 40 years.Barefoot Johnny Ohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17457469226066491164noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-35026978180104243782010-08-04T11:21:06.717-04:002010-08-04T11:21:06.717-04:00I agree with Nitmos (shudder!), but cookie-cutter ...I agree with Nitmos (shudder!), but cookie-cutter approaches to anything almost always fail. In running each person has his/her perfect form, and perhaps running barefoot will help them find what that is. Trying to run like someone else when your body is not built to handle that technique will surely lead to injury.<br /><br />Anyway, it's great that your experiments with minimalism are working. That's the key!Vavahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06695435090921005081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-83162265077003235022010-08-04T11:14:21.500-04:002010-08-04T11:14:21.500-04:00Amen.

With the human form being what it is in so many different shapes/sizes/centers of gravity, etc, there can't possibly be "one best way of running" for everyone. No way. Maybe if we were all similar clone-like machines like the droids in <i>I, Robot</i> we could identify the efficiency but...we're not. However, there must be One Best Way of Running for YOU. Good luck in your search.<br /><br />Incidentally, in response to my sarcastic comments, most people just say "f*ckin' a$$hole" and ignore me. Just so you know for the future.Nitmoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17108597328135023198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4667707830726423590.post-25238173714624552732010-08-04T10:04:19.431-04:002010-08-04T10:04:19.431-04:00You had to have read my post before blogging this ...You had to have read my post before blogging this morning.
