I must be getting the hang of my Vibrams

[mandy75]

I have been wearing my Vibrams for a bit now but haven't really done much with them, other than my classes at the gym(boot camp and weights) On Wednesday we went outside to do sprints, and I was the fastest! I am never the fastest, at anything. My instructor was giving the other women a hard time for letting the girl with bad knee beat them...lol Today, after yoga and weight training, I decided to try the treadmill. I ran a minute(speed of 6, a couple minutes at 6.5), walked a min(speed of 3) till I got to a mile. I did that mile in 14min. I haven't ran or even jogged in years because of the knee pain. I see that even with my bad knee, there may come a day, I could possibly be a runner. My dream is to just run a solid mile. I have never been able to do it.

Sounds good, hope you continue to get more comfortable running!

Well done Mandy! Sounds like you're well on your way Now's probably a good time to start working on your running form so you can knock that mile off with ease! Let me know if you want any help.

I love my vibrams! and wear them almost all the time now, and love working out and running in them

Woot!!

I, too, suffered for years with knee pain... I was almost unable to walk several years ago. I now do sprints! I wear my Vibrams to work daily, when taking walks, when shopping... they just live on my feet if I'm not in my house/yard.

I am definitely sore today, but I know that's to be expected. My knee feels ok though, so thats good. My ankles are pretty sore but they are also pretty weak, one, I turn over a lot, and the other has a steal plate and lots of screws. Where the plate is, is the sorest spot, but that happens when walking a lot to.

@Barefootdawsy, I have no idea about form, so yes, help would be great
