Again, just the one barefoot run this week.
Home from work and removing the shoes sooner than usual, leaving 4 miles on a mixed road surface; some nice and smooth, but quite a long section with coarse aggregate.
As usual, it’s the sections of road with tree cover that produce most discomfort. It’s not debris from the trees, it is the shade they provide, meaning that the tar doesn’t melt and the stone chips sit higher from the surface.
I went further than I thought because once I was within a mile from home then I wasn’t going to put my shoes back on. I think this was my longest barefoot road run.
However, I did pay for it with feet that were more sore than they’ve been for a long time.
Interestingly, they did recover much quicker than they used to.
Total weekly miles: 32
Barefoot: 4
