Pic says that's from Wayne's World? If so, I only saw that movie once and I was stone drunk. I don't remember anything about it other than I hated it.

yeah I did, I ran on it at lunch anyway heel striking... it was quite painful. I probably shouldnt have done that. even tho i was running wicked slow, about a 10m pace on a treadmill.

doing the typical quad stretch where you hold your foot by ur butt hurt my shins immensely. I believe i have shin splints now.

i am just going to take some days off from running i suppose... i'm so not used to this. i've always just been able to run. even if it was slow. but transitioning to this POSE style is proving to be extremely difficult.

i'd love for some pointers in making the transition easier on myself... i think the other day, doing 2400m in the WOD with minimalist shoes on was a bad idea (not vibrams, but inov8's) I just don't see how running like 40% of your normal run with one pair of shoes, and the rest with the other, alternating running styles is even feasible. thats one hell of an effort to put forth :rolleyes:

Yea, but if you don't do it, you're f***.

I basically just worked my way up. It helped that I was a natural midfoot striker, and that I have strong calfs. Easiest thing to do is really just work your way up with small steps. run a half mile. Then a mile. Then a mile and a half. and just keep going with that if you don't want to do the shoe switching. but that's how it has to work bro.

You're also trying to change form/style while engrained in a very strict workout regiment. You have to choose which one you want, because you're not going to be able to do both at the same time. If you want to make the commitment to mid/fore foot striking, you have to commit to it and finish the transition before you start doing other things.

As I;ve said before, I don't think vibrams are good running shoes for anyone outside of professionals and highly experienced runners. You can f*** more stuff up by trying to run in them if you don't have proper coaching/technique. You are also running on packed ground without any padding (or any real padding) - that isn't natural. If you were running on grass, it's one thing. Asphalt ain't nature made.

This weekend is going to be awesome. Tomorrow I'm getting the house ready for Halloween, watching the puppy play in the leaves, grilling, and then going to see Kevin Pollak at the Improv. Sunday is re-tiling the bathroom floor and watching the Bears get slaughtered by Carolina.

yeah i havent been running in the vibrams, but i do wear my inov8s during my WODs if there is running in them.

<sigh> i guess i should just make my lunch time run a gradual progressive run then.
