Vibram Five Finger running

I am in pain a lot lately. Obviously not enough to keep me from running though. I got “the stick” to help with my pain in my calves. If you wanna run in vff’s or bf; GET the stick. It works wonders. Other than that; i feel like i’d have to re learn how to run in shoes again. You get lots of looks in these shoes. They’re just jealous. The pain is all about getting used to using the muscles you haven’t been using though. It will lessen in time; and also “The lighter you run the less the pain will be”.

    James, are you still running in the VFF? If so, how’s it going?

    Stretch the calf. I guess it’s normal. Try the night brace that stretches it overnight.
