FiveFingers Revolution

On 29 July 2010 By

ou may have heard of the Vibrams FiveFingers and have already come up with an opinion on them (cool, freaky, totally unacceptable…). Why are these causing a revolt? Well, they are the one product that allows people to begin the transition to using our feet like they were designed to be used. Far too long […]

Training Camps

On 3 June 2010 By

I have been doing my own training camps for several years, with camps in Colorado, Texas, France, Greece and Mallorca. All of those camps were tough and had some good and bad aspects. What I intend to do in this series is to review the camps I have completed so that I can share my […]
