So I set out intending to take it easy, and I did, which definitely helped, but a week of barefooting distances beyond my feet's current capabilities finally caught up with me. I made it half way home before I had to call it a day. I could have kept going but may not have been able to run the next few days, so I took the smart option for once.
I have to drop 2 of the frequency, distance or speed of my barefoot runs. You can't always get what you want...so perhaps my plan to run the R4TK barefoot is a bit too optimistic. I haven't given up all hope but it looks doubtful at this stage. Anyway, learn from your mistakes :)

Maybe you were running too fast? Early on you've gone 5k at 4:45 or faster. Try slowing it down to around 6:30 or 7:00 for the whole journey. Then you can concentrate on the impact and feel what is happening to your soles.
ReplyDeleteI mean 5 minutes, not 5k :)
