Edgars is an avid runner from the country of Latvia.  He’s shared the following story/experience below – any thoughts on how his long distance running in Vibram FiveFingers can be improved?

I’ve expanded my minimalist shoe lineup recently. After nearly a year and a half of rotating Sprints, KSOs and Classics on a daily basis, I couldn’t help but long for a different shoe. I needed something for summer that worked as a flip-flop without the flipping, flopping or huge, over-cushioned sole. Hello Luna Sandals. Built […]

There’s something really amazing about Olympic lifting, in that it gives you an opportunity to show yourself what you’re capable of. I would never have picked up weights if it weren’t for having a boyfriend as a trainer. It was something that never, ever interested me. I was more into yoga, running, kayaking, rock climbing; […]
