For the last few years, Iโ€™ve hovered around 8:00/mi, but struggled with injuries. Made the decision to ignore time and try to correct my form. Im using the Garmin cadence, vertical oscillation and ground contact time metrics as north stars. Also shifting to landing mid foot. Winning for me is injury-free running.

It is similar to what i've learned in martial arts training: slow is smooth, smooth is fast. Also I've vastly corrected my form (esp landing) when I switched to barefoot shoe (I use Atreyu) - little to no room for bad form (your feet will hurt!).

I've transitioned to barefoot running as well, and I'm loving it. Slowly been building up foot and calf strength with forefoot striking when running and mainly mid-foot (somewhat) while walking. I'm on soft surfaces at the moment (grass, sand) in either Vibram five-finger shoes or actual bare feet

OK I am not really barefooting. But the atreyu's are almost zero-padding.
