Learn to transition and run in Vivo footwear

IT’S TIME TO TO RUN BAREFOOT

When we reconnect to the natural world, we reconnect to ourselves. So it’s time to embrace natural living and let nature heal us. It’s time to run barefoot.

TRANSFORM YOUR RUNNING SKILL AND PERFORMANCE 

Learning to run in minimalist footwear means relooking at how you run. Running with a straight, upright posture, ensuring your feet are landing under your body, is key to barefoot success.

Your stride length and ground contact time are vital when running. Reducing both will improve your efficiency and reduce injury. Try and aim for a cadence of around 180 steps per minute.

Sometimes we forget, but running can be an activity we enjoy. Try to relax, control your breathing and savour the benefits of being outside and moving the way nature intended.

Transitioning to running in Vivo’s can take time, but we have you covered with this simple video that lays out the basics on getting started. We also recommend you try our Running Fundamentals course, which will improve your technique and performance safely and efficiently.

THE RUNNING FUNDAMENTALS

Transform your running technique with our easy-to-follow online course, including 1:1 advice from our trained running coaches. It will change how you run forever.
