I love my Injinji's but I save the Five Fingers for kayaking.... I have insanely high arches and have to have the support.

Gotcha. Hard someone say once that any engineer will tell you - quickest way to weaken an arch is support the center of it. Don't know if that applies to feet or not. Wish someone would do an independant study

Maybe not so much support but cushioning. I tried running in my Five Fingers (I've had mine for a couple of years now so I'm used to walking in them) but after two miles I had to stop. I normally run in Nike Zoom Vomeros so I guess I'm a little spoiled!!

Very tight and sore. Started only running a mile/week. Then slowly added mileage as I gained strength

You get a "hot spot" on the bottom of your foot?

Right foot, 4th toe joint... I can usually run through it but sometimes I just have to cut a run short or walk a while and start up after the tingle goes away...

have a friend that happens to after 4-5 miles. I would get burn on the ball of my foot after 4 miles if I ran on asphalt or 6 miles on trail. Yesterday with the socks never came close. I was amazed at how that little bit of cushion made a huge difference.

Injinji's are amazing. I won't hike in anything else any more. I usually run in Thorlo's mainly for the forefoot cushioning. It really does make a difference for me. Keep us posted on how the Five Fingers are working for you. I may even try to ease myself into it again. I have so many friends who swear by them nowadays!

Do you play one on the internet? Or did you sleep at a Holiday Inn Express last night? Either of those makes you expert enough for me. :)

I might not be a Dr, but I do play one on Volnation. Go ahead ask me your medical questions. Expect great answers

4 miles last night in 29 mins and 58 sec. I felt during the run I could have gone farther but I am trying to stick to my training schedule so I don't injure myself.

Run Keeper app actually worked last night by the way.

That's a pretty good time

Just a note if runnin on a treadmill in order to simulate outside running you need to have the incline on 1 at least

Thanks! I actually don't have a treadmill or a gym membership so all my running is outside now. Started out around a track but now its all street running or running at the river walk here is Chatt.

When running short distances what type of rest is right for you when training for a 5k?

Short rest between hard and fast intervals can teach the nervous system to adjust to faster running, promote stride power, and allow you to practice maintaining form and speed. 30 second rest
Do this a month before an import racing block

Medium rest promotes, develops, and supports the specific endurance necessary for racing a hard 5k. Keeping the rest at a medium duration lets you accumulate substantial amount of volume but doesn't afford a complete recovery.60-90 seconds on a 10k pace
This is best to do 6 weeks before a target 5k


Long rest allows you to focus on the quality of your run not the quality 10k pace 5 min rest
You want to use this workout in early-mid running season for yourself (the reason for yourself is added is because running is a year round sport)
