Not only has the wedding planning and new house improvements distracted me from blogging, but it also caused me to forget (until very recently that is) that my second half-marathon for the year is next weekend! On June 27th I’ll be running the Stratton Faxon Fairfield Half-Marathon for the second time (ran it last year [...]

Barefoot runner goes over 100 miles in 24 hours!
As I warned earlier, the posting on Barefoot Brandon has slowed down a bit these days, as the focus has been on moving to a new house…not to mention that I’m getting married in just about six weeks!!! That doesn’t mean that my running has slowed down though. This week already I’ve logged a 4.5 [...]

Barefoot Brandon: What’s in a name?
At about the same time I started running barefoot and in Vibram Five Fingers and started blogging about it last year, it became apparent that there was quite a disagreement raging on the interwebs. This disagreement was between those in favor of minimalist running and those who recommended the traditional running shoe approach (and many [...]

Birthday Shoes gets first look at Vibram Five Fingers Speed
I wanted apologize for the lack of activity on the blog these days, but due to changes at work, wedding planning and moving into a new house, it will be a little quieter than usual here at Barefoot Brandon. In terms of my training, most of this week will be a balance of shorter distance [...]

Longest run ever planned for this weekend
With nothing major on the agenda for the weekend, I’ve decided it would be as good a time as ever to attempt a new personal record in terms of farthest distance run. Since last year, I’ve thought that running from my house to my parent’s house, which is between 14-16 miles depending the roads you [...]

Long trail runs and push-ups
This past Sunday I went out for a trail run at Bluff Point with the intention of setting a new PR for distance on the trails…and it wasn’t a disappointment! Although I only beat my previous record by less than a mile (7.3 miles in Bimbler’s Bash) it was a very fulfilling run. I didn’t [...]

Time for some serious trail running!
With my brother’s bachelor party in the rear-view mirror (great time…even though I probably went a little overkill on the partying ) it’s time to get back into training mode. I’m in between the two half-marathons scheduled for this year and these next couple weeks will most likely feature a lot less road running then [...]

Half-marathon hangover
I’ve officially deemed this week a half-marathon hangover due to general soreness from the race and some scheduling conflicts with my training. Maybe I deserve a slow week after the effort I put into the Providence half-marathon, but the hope was that I’d get right back out there and pick up where I left off…but [...]

How do you taper for a race?
With the Shape Up RI half-marathon only three days away, I’ve apparently moved into “taper” mode…although I’m not exactly sure what that means! I believe it means that I should decrease the distance of my training runs and start resting up muscles for the race, but can I still run at all? I don’t even [...]

Two days until the Seaside Shuffle!
A couple months ago my sister and I registered for the Seaside Shuffle 5-miler in Old Saybrook, CT, as a warm-up for the Shape Up RI half-marathon on May 2nd. Well, it seems the time has come to begin preparing for the race, with less than 48 hours between now and the start time! My [...]
