Vibrams might work for some but my personal experience ended with over-pronation injury. I always preferred forefoot running to begin with and the Vibrams allowed me to get carried away.

Use the right tool for the job. It sounds like Vibrams were that right tool for Jason, which is great!

(FWIW I started running after "minimally invasive" neurosurgery about 2 years ago)

Yeah, I had a similar experience. I was inspired by Jason when I first heard his story and tried out barefoot running, only to give myself plantar fasciitis instead. I'm glad it worked for him though!
