As I’ve mentioned before, recently I’ve been doing some cross training by adding bike riding to my workout routine to give my foot extra time to heal between runs. Anyways, I’ve started building up my stamina on the bike rides and last night I planned to go for my longest ride yet, around 13-14 miles. [...]

Back from the honeymoon
To be honest, I’ve been back from the honeymoon for over a week now and while things are going great on the married/house front , things on the running front have slowed a bit. Going into my wedding and honeymoon, my PT tendon had been a bit sore and I was hoping that over a [...]

Hot and humid…perfect if I was training for Badwater!
Just felt like stating the obvious, but it’s been VERY hot and humid these past few days in southeastern Connecticut. I went for a 5+ mile trail run on Monday at 9 AM and it already felt like I was running in the jungle. I’m hoping the temperature will drop a little bit, as I [...]

More minimalist shoes on the horizon: Inov-8 Evoskin, GoLite and more…
I meant to get this post out a lot earlier, but right now I’m getting pulled in all directions and unfortunately haven’t had a great deal of time to tend to the blog. Anyways, there’s some big news lately in the minimalist shoe market, with the biggest announcement being the Inov-8 Evoskin (you know, the [...]

One week until the Fairfield Half-Marathon
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 [...]
