The Running Thread

Do you barefoot/vibram guys run on the balls of your feet only? I can't imagine my heel slamming into pavement with every step feeling good. I've never tried barefoot/vibram running.

That's the whole point. You shouldn't heel strike with barefoot shoes. I use the Vibrams and a method called Chi Running. I don't follow any of the metaphysical crap they talk about, but I found the method easy to learn and follow. Ran a half-marathon last spring and have another this next spring to train for.
