I wouldn't encourage anyone to change anything right before a race, as long as they aren't suffering from any pain or other problems. As for transitioning, some people toss their shoes and never look back. Yet that's not very practical for most people. I encourage everyone to run at least 20 feet to begin with with no shoes on a hard surface (dirt, pavement, clay, etc.). This gives them a good feel for what their natural form is like. If you do much further than this your foot and leg muscles could get injured. Ramp up slowly, and if you put some sort of shoe on, keep it light and with minimal heel and arch support. The main thing is to focus on your overall form and listen to your body. Thanks again for stopping by and leaving this note. Please keep in touch! Thanks for checking the article out!

]]> Comment on The New Guide to Running Shoes by Clynton http://runningquest.net/2009/12/12/the-new-guide-to-running-shoes-incorporating-barefoot-shoes/comment-page-1/#comment-826 Clynton Thu, 26 Aug 2010 04:33:00 +0000 http://www.runningquest.net/2009/12/12/the-new-guide-to-running-shoes-incorporating-barefoot-shoes/#comment-826 Thanks. It's really easy to do too much too soon when trying VFFs and running without shoes altogether. Sorry to hear you got hurt. There are different Nike Frees. Their numbers correspond to the spectrum from barefoot, 0 or 1, to, well, huge ass shoes, a 10. If the 3s are too little, try the 5s. However, I would encourage you to run a little bit without any shoes on a hard surface (20 feet to start with, then ramp up slowly). This will help you learn what your form should be like naturally yet won't tax your calves or feet. Unfortunately I haven't tried any of the Brooks. Try a bunch and see what works for you. Just consider overall weight and how much arch support and heel there is - you don't want too much of that, even when transitioning. Best of luck! Thanks.
