The bio-mechanics are completely different

Some area runners are leaving their sneakers behind to try on a more natural approach to training.

From barely-there shoes to nothing at all, some seasoned runners say barefoot running has its benefits.

"Running sneakers provide a tremendous amount of support and cushioning, but they could be hurting us by causing the foot area to move differently," Framingham runner Adam King said. "Shoes are basically doing the work nature intended our feet to do."

A self-proclaimed "fitness geek," King said he's always interested in running improvements and was intrigued by the trend he read about in magazines.

first 100

Completed my run in the rain today, updated my spreadsheet and realized I had just completed 100 miles this calendar year! Woot Woot!

102.5 total over 26 days for a 3.9 miles/day average.

My run in the rain was a good one. I have always considered myself a "mudder" and have run some of my better times in the rain.

Because I feel more at one with the world?

Because I concentrate better?

Because I had a good workout on the track this Thursday, setting me up to run fully a minute per mile better over this same route than I did last Sunday?

Whatever the reason, and maybe it is a combination of the above, I will take it.

The feeling after is good! The runners high is worth running for!

Spring time? almost

I got over to the Franklin High School track yesterday for some pace work. It was my first time this season on the track and it was warm enough to do so.

After a warm up, 3 x 800 was the order for the day. I felt pretty good doing 3:29, 3:38 and then closing with 3:32. A good run home (2 miles) gave me a total of 4 for the day on the FIRST Program

I have the St Pat's 5K to run next week down in Providence. I did the inaugural run last year and it was a good event. Well organized, festive and out and back course, up hill going out, downhill coming back can make for some good times, even if it is early in the season.

What are you up to with your running?
