Des Linden and Thoughts on Minimalism
Post Body

In a video for Wired (https://youtu.be/2Z2sgENwu98) marathon runner Des Linden suggests not running minimalist for long distance. Iโ€™ve been running (and also most of my walking) in minimalist shoes for almost a year now, but I have only done two half marathons like that, and very slowly. Do people agree that minimalist running should be reserved for shorter distances?

Minimalist shoes were the catalyst I needed to get serious about running. Awkward at first but got me in touch with how my body moves best. If you agree that it isnโ€™t great for long distances, do you have any suggestions on how to find comfortable running in normal shoes again?
