Running Go 100% Vibram Fivefingers

I'm towards the end of my first marathon training session which is on February 21st. I first put on my Vibram fivefingers kso on october 19th which almost coincided perfectly with my 18 week training program. If I could have I would have given myself more time to ramp up at the beginning to get my base miles under me before I got into the longer training runs. Now that I'm at the end of my training, just did my 20 mile run. I can never imagine going back to regular shoes again.

When my wife and started the training, we both went 100% Vibram Fivefingers, I've made it through, and she went back to her regular shoes in order to get to do the marathon. She's planning on switching back afterwards and not do so much so fast.

We all react differently, but if the marathon is your goal, I'd probably go back to regular shoes to complete it, knowing that you'll switch afterwards. But if you'd rather go 100% Five fingers kso, I'd shot for a half.
