Title: Vibrams! Post by: Shane on July 08, 2009, 10:04:51 pm I bought a pair of Vibram Sprints yesterday and went for my first run and fell in love! I just did two miles because I didn't want to overdo it and I can feel it in my calves today. Any advice as far as working them into training. Anyone run exclusively with them? I want to get used to them, but don't want to hinder my training.

I run up to 6 miles in them and really like them. However, I tend to only do it once or twice a week because I start feeling it in my feet after that - but that could be a combination of age (too many years in shoes) and a few extra pounds. Title: Re: Vibrams! Post by: Sasha Pachev on July 09, 2009, 02:59:24 pm I would try to run in them every day for as much as you can handle and recover from until you can run all of the mileage. E.g maybe 2 miles, then change to shoes. Then 3 miles, then change to shoes, etc. Consistency is important.
