Vibram FiveFingers

I've noticed that with the VFFs, some muscles in my right foot (the arch) get strained more often and I limp around for about a week.  Any recommendations on how to speed up the healing process?

Your going to find all sorts of muscles start to ache that you didn't even know you had.  I found doing some calf/achilles stretches always helped before and after.  You will also want to stretch out some of the muscle that clips into your shin from your foot (flick your feet up and up down seated or find some stairs and do raises while standing over the edge).

As for healing, a little A5 after a run never hurt.  I'm also, more so, a cyclist and use Spider tech tape http://www.spidertech.com/ fairly often in my rides and found it worked wonders on long runs as well.  I can't tell you why it works, just that it works miracles!

cheers,
