Over the next few weeks, we will work our way up the body, talking about your breathing in addition to that rotator cuff pain you’re having at Mile 4 of your run, but this week we’ll take on something that sits a little closer to your feet.

Injuries and Minimalist Running

Injuries and Minimalist Running

by vffrunner on Apr 02, 2010 6

Today we’re going to talk about that dark topic of injuries. Injuries are a part of nearly every long distance runner’s history or their future. A quick Google search indicates that anywhere from 40-70% of runners are injured at some point during their running career. Does that make you want to stop running? Well, it […]

I am very excited to be guest blogging for Daniel as he chronicles his Vibram Fivefinger (VFF) journey.  I am an avid VFF wearer and have told countless clients and friends about them and the benefit that they provide for overall function and biomechanics.

Minimalism: In Running And In Life

When Jessica Mullen and I moved from the Midwest to Austin, Texas in June of 2008, we were overweight, out of shape, and drank a lot of vodka. We were not very productive. But there is something in the water in Austin.

Adapting Your Training Plan for Minimalist Running

Adapting Your Training Plan for Minimalist Running

by vffrunner on Mar 25, 2010 6

There are almost as many marathon training plans as there are marathoners. Every runner is different and even two runners who use the same training plan are going to adapt it for their own needs. Schedule, cross training preferences, speed, fuel, rest days… you need to think about all these aspects of a training plan […]

Living in a Fashion Holding Pattern

If you have a pair of the new KSO Treks, this may not apply to you. I hope to get a pair of those someday. I’ve been wearing the Classics and Sprints since August 2009. And for now, I’m “like completely over” the design of standard Vibram Fivefingers. They’re fine for sports. But I wear […]

Training for a Vibram Marathon

Now Accepting Guest Bloggers

I think it’s fairly obvious that the most well-intentioned version of “MyFivefingers.com” is a blog where you the Fivefinger Nation can share your thoughts, experiences, questions, and ideas with the world. Without running around the world and joining every athletic competition known to man, one person can’t really do VFFs justice. So I’m opening the […]

Where to Get Fivefingers Shoes in Dallas

by Daniel Dessinger on Mar 13, 2010 1

Just because at least one of you has come to this site searching this question, I got my shoes at Luke’s Locker in Plano. There’s another Luke’s Locker in Colleyville, and probably one in Dallas. I’ve heard that REI and Sun & Ski Sports also carries some models, but I haven’t confirmed. If you locate […]
