We somehow ignored it and went ahead with Vibrams.<br />My observation during the run was that it does not help a runner with the much wanted cushioning while running downhill. It looks fine when you run on flat roads but when you are running downhill, you need a certain degree of protection for your knees and Vibrams does not offer them. Invariably, I was beaten by all runners at the downhill and used to race them up on the uphills. The final run down the hill was a huge risk. I decided that if my knee cracks at any point of time, I would give up. I was lucky that it didn't crack!Balajinoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7749590.post-61855726293667172402012-06-11T06:17:24.575+05:302012-06-11T06:17:24.575+05:30I am glad to read this post.
