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 [...]

Ultra Half-Marathon Man
Okay, so maybe there’s nothing quite “ultra” about running 13.6 miles, but pretending I was doing something way above and beyond what I had ever done before helped me get through the run on Saturday…even if it was only 0.5 miles farther than my previous distance In case you’re too lazy (or have something better [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Why we run
Last week I finished reading Why We Run by Bernd Heinrich and just wanted to share a couple of thoughts on the book. At first my reaction to the book was that there was way too much Biology-speak and I’ll admit, there were parts where I started to lose focus (lots of talk about moths, [...]

Running links galore
The links have been piling up rapidly these days, so I felt the need to devote an entire post to them for your entertainment… Doctors hate you [Barefoot Josh] – In Josh’s latest rant, he makes a great argument against doctors who recommend people run on grass if they choose to run barefoot. Completing the [...]

Video review of the Inov-8 F-Lite 230 trail running shoe
Because of my upcoming trail race, I’ve been logging a lot more trail running miles than ever before these past few weeks. However, I haven’t yet built up the confidence to hit the trails in Vibram Five Fingers or barefoot (!!!) like Jason from Barefoot Chronicles, so all of the runs have been in Inov-8 [...]
