I've been transiti...Thanks for the post Doug. <br /><br />I've been transitioning to a midfoot strike over the past 18 months. I started with half-mile runs. Now I'm running 3-5 miles every time I go out. <br /><br />I alternate between two pairs of normal neutral running shoes. I'm wearing them in decently, but they still have a good amount of tread. <br /><br />Soon I'm gonna pickup some Nike Frees and start running every other run in those puppies. My plan is to go through a couple of those and then start to transition to something with less sole, maybe the VFF Kinvaras. <br /><br />I originally was going to just get some VFFs or similar and even tried a Kigo shoe last summer. But I realized I need to transition more slowly, and that I can make a lot of improvements to my stride while using normal running shoes. <br /><br />So I apply barefoot running and Chi Running techniques in my standard running shoes and I think I've become a consistent midfoot striker with a short stride and quick turnover. Now I'll start slowly transitioning to shoes with less heel/sole. <br /><br />Good luck in Boston my friend!!EphraimJFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13050494218923379372noreply@blogger.com
