A couple of gentle runs after Sunday’s long one.
The first one on the Monday started over the fields then on to the road for 2.8 miles barefoot, 5 miles total.
Tuesday 29th was just a 2 mile barefoot run from home. This was almost exactly the same as my first barefoot run just over 9 weeks ago. Then I finished with very sore feet indeed, and deep blisters on both feet. Today was no problem at all, even considering my longish barefoot run yesterday. More of a concern is my Achilles, which is now showing some swelling about one inch above the boney insertion point. I’ve no doubt now that this is being caused by strain rather than pressure as I thought initially.
It’s a bit of a worry because I don’t want to go back to using higher heeled shoes, which would probably relieve some of the strain.
