Can you follow my running blog? http://runningaddiction.tumblr.com/ Thanks if you already are a follower. I am training for a marathon with my brother. I try to post about all sorts of different stuff about running on top of just my training updates.

Started following a couple of weeks ago, and just followed your personal blog.  Best of luck with your training.

Minimalist Running

I am seriously considering adding one day of easy running each week with a “barefoot”  type shoe like the @saucony Hattori.  Anybody have any experience with this?  If so, what were your results like? Did it improve your overall running performance or lessen your susceptibility to injuries? What shoes did you use?

I started using the original Saucony Kinvara’s last fall, and just ran a 1/2 marathon in them 3 weeks ago.  I’m thinking that eventually I’ll make these my regular training shoes.  I also just purchased the Saucony Peregrine’s (not mentioned in the video) for trail running, and am intrigued by the Hattori’s.
