Oceans of Mercy 5K, Shawnee Mission KS 20:09 Final Time 6:30 Pace 8th AG (40-49) 17th Overall The only one faster was in 2001 with shoes (19:18) I may post a...
Seems like I get at least one comment from race onlookers like "You ran right out of your shoes" like they are on fire or something. I usually look aghast and...
Right -- after that second seven-mile day that ended with blisters, I was very happy to be out of town and not running for a few days! Back at it this morning,...
Sounds like the training is paying off Jerry. Your HR seems right in relation to your mileage. I agree with the factors you talked about regarding foot...
Spent Thursday through yesterday in NYC (I live in central Ohio) and did no running while there, so I only managed 17 miles last week: 3, 7 and 7 on M, Tu and...
How was your running week? Is the weather cooperating for your barefoot runs? For me, I managed 62 miles, some inside and some out on the concrete and asphalt....
That's a great example! Thanks for providing it. Mark I found this to be quite exciting to watch and hopefully you will also. It is a short video, courtesy of...

I, too, have done more treadmill running this winter than I would have liked, Paul. Ahhh .... Spring is coming ... (I actually mowed the yard this weekend...
I ran indoors, barefoot most of the week (on the treadmill, but I had good DVDs to watch). My Saturday run was outside, but I had to wear shoes because it was...
Thanks, Rick, you've described my plan exactly! :) -- Jerry On 14 Mar 2005 at 2:32, Barefoot Rick Roeber wrote: Your increased mileage is creating a base to...
Your increased mileage is creating a base to allow you to double your distance in the coming months. Plus, I think it will make it easier to do so by getting...
I finished my third week of regular running. Ran every day, 32 miles total, all barefoot, all indoor, all low-speed, low HR. Very satisfying. By April,...
This was a tough week physically. I came down with the upper- respiratory "crud" last Sunday. Started a new position with my company on Monday and ended up...
regarding the 2nd Annual Soles For Souls Pledge Drive I do for Lee's Summit Elementary. Hmmmm ... guess I'll have to keep qualifying for Boston to continue...
It sounds like nirvana to me. I'm training LSD with carefully controlled HR -- working up to 3+ hrs @ <70% of HR max; being able to free run and monitor the...
Having heart rate compared to speed+distance and perceived effort totally rocks in my book! It is like having your own personal coach! Mark ... never used one...
I know a lot of people share your sentiments. Personally, I have never used one so if I did, I might become hooked on the "data feedback" I would receive. I am...
Personally, I consider a heart rate monitor to be one of the best running purchases I ever made (but I never used one for years, so I'm not saying it's...

Rick, based on your track record, I think maybe I should get rid of my HRM altogether! -- Jerry On 10 Mar 2005 at 1:18, Barefoot Rick Roeber wrote: Nope ......
I also own the s625x. The only system without a footpod that can supposedly do what it does (albeit probably not as well!) is the Timex Bodylink system. Here...
Nope ... sorry Jerry. I am not much of a SME (subject-matter expert) on GPS devices or HRMs. Regarding HR, usually when I feel like I am sucking air too quick...
What I like about the Polar S625X is that the HRM is integrated with it. Do you know of any other system that has the GPS and the HRM combined? On 10 Mar 2005...
