In an effort to control the Achilles problem I took almost 2 weeks off of barefoot running.
There is a local 5k at the end of August and I’ve been hopeful of running this unshod.
For my return to barefoot running I chose to check out the road and run half of it without shoes. In places the surface is rather prickly, especially the final 2k. Anyway, I managed the second half of the course without too much discomfort so it looks possible.
However, the day after this run I ran our club’s time trial and developed a sore calf. It didn’t stop me running but later in the evening it was rather uncomfortable. It was no better in the morning and running was out of the question, so the bike came out for some action.
Total miles for 2 weeks: 51
Barefoot: 1.5
