For several weeks, I’ve been meaning to do an update on everyone’s favorite topic--barefootin’ and minimalism, right? But I just haven't found the time. Rather than waiting longer, I’m going to settle for a quick review of interesting new material. Pete Larson’s book, Tread Lightly Pe...
This is your first Olympic team. How does it feel? Desiree Davila: Half of me feels like it’s a relief. When you think about running, that’s the pinnacle of the sport. So to think, “I’m an Olympian, I’ve reached that level,” it’s a huge accomplishment, but at the same time I felt lik...

Interested in writing for RunAddicts.net? Get started now! When I had to give up running at only three months pregnant, it was a real psychological blow and I was tempted to just give up on everything and allow myself to wallow in morning sickness, rocky-road ice-cream sandwiches and ...
While reviewing abstracts from the recent ACSM meeting I came across a study that looked at transition injuries among barefoot runners. The study tracked 109 runners and found a fairly low incidence of musculoskeletal injury among them as they transitioned to running barefoot. There a...
I had sort of planned to do the Great Kent Bike Ride today, depending on the weather. However, the weather was irrelevant because registration closed at 10am and I didn’t get up until, um… 10am. So I cycled to the farm shop, remembering to take my phone with me so I could take a pictu...

Just wanted to post a quick update....and more so mental-word-vomit to clear some space in my mind. Amidst all of the fancy product reviews and epic race reports, when the super mom cape and sneakers come off, there is real life. Real, dirty, not always fabulous life. And sometimes, I...
My interest in this all started a while back. I was sat in a coffee shop – my broken knee propped up. I started talking to a gentleman about trail running; that was how I broke my knee after all. It turns out my new conversation companion had spent most of his working life organising ...

Yesterday I was running in a mid-sized 10K race. I say mid-sized (about 1,000 runners in the 10K distance and 5,000 in all distances) because it was a well organized race and you’d expect the course to be well marked. I was sitting in a comfortable fourth place, well out of contention...
