I am up to about 10 miles in distance. My pace varies a bit and as I hinted to before I am trying not to dwell on numbers and just go out and "tear up" the trails and have fun.

With that said, I can't help but to try and note my pace. Probably ranging from 8 min/mi to 10+ min/mi. Certainly nothing special, but having a blast!

Pace varies a lot in the mountainous trails obviously. But I did show up a few of my buddies who have done low 3 hour marathons while I was in my 5 fingers...so I gave up nothing with regard to their traditional trail sneakers...or likely my own pace with trail sneakers.

I am pretty excited to know I am going just as well with the 5 fingers as I would with shoes.

Plus you're less like to roll/ twist/ sprain your ankle with 5 fingers compared to trail running sneakers.

It's really been a blast. I am not trying to tell you guys to do it all the time...but I do think you would have a really good time using them once in a while off-road.

enjoy
