Hello, my name is Richard McNeil. I am 42 years old and started running Feb. of 2009 and did my first marathon in August of 2010. I started out with thick soles and inserts and kept having knee and foot problems. I then went down to Brooks Mach 11 and slowly worked in to that. I did my 2nd marathon in Oct. 2010 in Saucony Kinvara. Since then I have been doing some of my runs in huaraches, but nothing over 6 miles at one time. I will be running Iron Mountain 30 miler trail run in VA this weekend on 9/3/11 in the new zero drop Altra Instincts which I have been training in. Since I have went to more zero drop or what I call minimalist shoes I have been injury free.
Hello From NC
