I miss running in my vibram's, but i'm going to stay away from them. Nothing feels better (well except for that night or day after when your feet sometimes get scary achy out of nowhere), other than possibly running completely barefoot. I stopped running in my vibram's shortly after a huge thorn went right through them and impaled my foot, eh. Just too much to worry about. They definitely helped me in the prolonged midfoot running department, more so than I think i've ever experienced in my spikeless track flats. So i've taken some of those adaptations and lessons learned to my XC flats.

I prefer running in my spikeless flats (XC shoes); very strong soles, very light, very comfortable when running mid foot, feel so much safer, can run faster.

When I used to try and run midfoot in "traditional jogging shoes" (way back, in say 2004-2007), I'd get calf soreness for literally 5-7 days. To the point where initially I couldn't even walk. It was so brutal. Needless to say I didn't become a midfoot runner back then. I grew up as a heel striker with heavy shoes, so prolonged midfoot running just destroyed me. I still have to be careful with it, but soreness only lasts a day or so and it's not extreme.

my random personal experience 2cents

!!

I actually get the same calf soreness (more cramping actually) trying to mid strike in more traditional shoes. The barefoots felt great so maybe I just need a longer transition period. It may just be that soreness that I've had. It's lingering but much better than what it was.

And I'll be on the lookout for any thorns  :o

2/11/15 Week 4- Day 1- High Frequency Program (1.30pm)

Snatch - 20kg ladder - Start RS5 -17.5kg and add 2.5kg after each lift. The focus here is on consistency.

Front Squat - Build to new 1RM bar x 5, 60 x 5, 80 x 3, 100 x 1, 110 x 1, 120 x 1, 125 x 1  :personal-record:
Front Squat- RS5 80% 85 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Speed pull deadlift - RS15 55% 90 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

BTN Press - RS15 55% of standing press

Planche - RS5x2 plank lean 5s x 5, 5s x 5

Cable Ext Rot - 3x10
Cable Trap3 raise - 3x10
German Hang - 10-40 sec
lack of time

Row 1 km - 2km pace 1012m in 4:01

FS PR was ugly but pretty awesome at the same time. 110 felt good and if I keep going like this 130+ is just around the corner. For some reason FS is much more comfortable for me than back squats now.

F Squat RS5 90% bar x 5, 60 x 5, 90 x 3, 110 x 1, 1, 1, 1, 1

Deadlift Lockout RS15 95-105% Max mid thigh- 60 x 10, 110 x 3, 140 x 3, 170 x 3, 3, 3, 3, 3

Handstand 20 min
5 min entries 6 entries with off wall balances

5 min New PB
5 min endurance


Arms 10 mins - 200 reps Barbell curls bar x 15
Diamond push-ups 1 rep
shoulder no go here on both

Swim 500m for time

Front squats felt pretty good. Legs are tired but that's no wonder after the last couple of days training. Partial pulls felt pretty easy. Mixed grip on first two sets and used straps on last 3 sets.
Taking things slowly on the shoulder front. It's a bit fatigued now but I figure handstand practice, light presses and some oly lifting dowel work should be enough for now.

Main thing is you made the weight.
A 3 plate front squat is on the horizon.

Yeah I don't know. It looks that way but my heels are just on the edge of shoulder width. I narrowed my stance a bit after watching that vid after the gym so I'll see how the next one looks.

That would be sweet. Maybe a nice Christmas present to myself.

8/11/15- Week 4- Day 7- High Frequency Program

Was due for a 5km trail run today. Knees and lower back felt pretty average. Ended up doing a 3k walk with the wife and kids. Any when I say with the kids that's my wife and I pushing a pram each with a child inside.

Going to be working on snatch technique as a warm up to all workouts from here on. Using the combo from the vids below. Going slow at the moment to get a feel for all the movements but I figure I'm better off doing work with the dowel and just the bar rather than ingraining bad habits which I've probably developed during the last couple of years.

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBAAfKgQO-U" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UBAAfKgQO-U</a>

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSyEL7gDWUU" target="_blank">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aSyEL7gDWUU</a>

Also going to get some coaching over the next month or so when I get a chance to go down. BW snatch is a nice goal and I think this is realistic in the next 6-12 months. As far as C&J goes that depends on my shoulder but we'll see.
