What happens when you mix a return to Vibram Five Fingers running with a slow moving cute puppy
A pulled calf muscle, that's what.
Decided to use the VFFs to combine a doggie walk, runnin' with the younguns, and an outdoor run -- 3 birds with one stone, at 130 bpm.
Treadmill running works different muscles than regular running, doesn't it?
And VFF running the way I'd been doing it, trying to emulate The Great Ali as I floated like a butterfly on my forefeet, is different from regular running.
And so is doing side shuffles to mix things up -- and our little pup doesn't do running at daddy speeds.
Lots of springing in place.
Could use some liniment, and a Mr. Han laying on of hands to the old calf.
Learning about the body every day, yessir.
