calf muscles ache means you 'got do work'. you work out well. keep it up!! don't stop. after awhile you will be used to it.

For almost 2 weeks, my calf muscles were strained because heel strike doesn't require calf muscles. And to use mid-foot, you need certain speed, whereby the pace will naturally go into mid-foot strike.
It is something that the body is re-learning. It was lost, and now is back. Endure and everything will be fine. Mid-foot run is better and it maintains the stamina pretty well. When I first started, I wasn't able to run 2.4km at all. Now I can run 20km with bare-foot already.

I transitioned directly to 1.0 and I am feeling the pain ow....juz went for my first run in merrell vibram barefoot glove....during the run somehow though my stamina sucks...my body just kept going and was landing on mid and front...the moment I paced down the brick wall came in and it came hard on me....foot all blister calves and thigh pain but feeling very good about it. I think I might go get the Nike after all to train with first...

Barefoot running cannot be done using heel strike. The body will naturally use mid-foot. This is why when baby or toddler runs, they are using mid foot. However, once they wear shoes, you can observe they are like tip-toeing. This is the reason. They know how to run naturally. Once we give them hard shoes to run, they don't know how to run.

Barefoot running is good. I have been doing it for a long time now. Wearing the 5 fingers. Now my new balance is collecting dust. This is really injury free running.
