Jason (“Ardent” on the forums) sent in the above photo of his slightly muddied red and black Vibram fivefinger Sprints*. Jason’s been regularly running in his Sprints now since early this year. Here is what he had to say about the experience:
Even though I had been running through snow my feet where strangely warm (wet suit effect). The sprints were only this clean as crossed a stream shortly before the end of the run. I have gone on to clock over 220 miles in the sprints. Done the Prestwold 10k in June, caused many double takes afterwards.
Jason regularly blogs about his training pursuits, including those in his VFF Sprints at his blog here. Thanks for sharing, Jason!
* My favorite color combo**, the red and black Sprints make your feet look irradiated—like anthropomorphized Martian feet. They look particularly creepy in darkly lighted rooms (like movie theaters).
** I’m a University of Georgia alum, what can I say?
