Oh My Goodness! What a great pair of shoes. I bought mine 2 weeks ago and have worn them around the house for a couple of days and today went out for my 1st run in them. It was only a 30 minute run but I was already imagining myself using them when I do the Great North Run.

My trainer told me that barefoot shoes help maximise the muscle use in my ankles and legs and so when you work out, more muscles in the legs are used. I have been using my Merrells for about a month now and I am delighted with the results.

These are funky, comfortable shoes. They really give a sense of being in touch with the ground. Cool styling and color too.

350.8 miles since I bought them in early February. My first Marathon completed on Sunday in 3:54. I think that's all I need to say apart from I love my Trail Gloves!

Insane Terrain- 3rd Stage Get Entering Now!
Stage 2 of the 2013 Insane Terrain Running Series, supported by Merrell, took place at the idyllic yet extremely challenging surroundings of Grange Farm in Wansford, just north of Peterborough. The venue is used for horse cross country and off road driving experiences making it an ideal venue – and a very tough one!
Approx 150 people braved the cold conditions and there were some stunning times submitted, both in the 5k and 10k runs. With competitors having to conquer numerous obstacles from hay bale sky scrapers to spiders webs and cargo net crawls , 11 water challenges and muddy water tunnel crawls it was pure cruelty on the part of the organisers to add in the punishing hill climbs, particularly the brutal ascent at the end of the course.
BUT THEY DID!!
In fairness, they did add in some lighthearted elements to ensure everyone had fun and the human slide at the very end of the course was a welcome relief to those exhausted runners brave enough to enter.
As with their first event in Woodbridge, the organisers set up the course to be firm but fair and make it an event that appeals to the elite athlete, the fun runner and the fundraiser; indeed there were a number of groups racing for charity and all of them commented on how much fun it was and that they’d managed to get lots of additional sponsorship when people realized what they were going to have to endure.
The 3rd stage of the series takes place back in Woodbridge on SUNDAY 9TH JUNE and the organisers have promised it will be bigger, better and tougher than ever!
