Barefoot blog: Inspired by the feats of others
I love a challenge and have a natural curiosity that encourages me to try new things, which is what got me started in barefoot running and is probably why I am looking forward with interest to the Virgin London Marathon. How will it feel? Will I be able to finish it? Will I enjoy it? [...]
Barefoot Blog: Silence is golden
Even though I have abandoned total barefootdom for a mix of barefoot and minimal shoes during my preparation for the Virgin London Marathon, I am still noticing a massive benefit from my year’s experiment. Most notable is how much lighter I am on my feet than other runners, and this lightness means I am quiet.

Barefoot blog: Merrell app – the final stages

Barefoot spinning – not the best idea!
It seems to me that if I am going to crack this barefoot running thing, then really I ought not ever wear spongy soled trainers. This theory works well in most cases, I play badminton in my barefoot shoes and it’s great – in fact if anything it feels like a great work-out for my [...]
Everyone needs a plan!
The summer has been great, but routines are hard to stick to and my early mornings have disappeared in favour of late nights! So for the sake of my waistline I have welcomed September with open arms (even though I am, at heart, a summer girl). But what exactly should I do? When you exercise [...]
