When you say your going to do an 8 or 5k in the spring do you mean in vffs or just having recovered fron your current pain and doing them in regular running shoes? Now that I have experience the difference in strides I would like to strengthen forefoot runkning. With or without vffs.
I mean doing 5 or 8k races in my vffs in the spring. After the 2 weeks of reduced running due to the pain I'm back at full capacity in my normal shoes. I have a half marathon and a marathon coming right up. After the marathon on Oct 18, I'm hoping to switch almost completely to vffs, although it will mean running a lot less.
