2.83

Ran 2.83 in my new INOV8's which is my first run in more minimalist running shoes.  I really enjoyed the run and felt really good.  The knee didn't bother me at all.  I plan to continue to just take it easy this week and let the knee heal.

Hope you can continue to mend. Glad you like the shoes, the minimalist approach takes some time to get used to and the form change, while beneficial, will take time to feel right and get efficient at doing without risking injury.

Thanks for the advice Jeff. I will try to take it easy in the transition to the more minimalist approach. Question for you: I can tell that you are a very biomechanically efficient runner and mostly use minimalist running shoes, however I can see that you also still use heel strike built running shoes too. When do you decide which ones to use? And do the more cushioned shoes affect or change your running style, or do you still maintain the midfoot/forefoot strike?
