Total weekly mileage – 46
Barefoot mileage – 1.25
Sessions – 5
Sessions which included Barefoot running – 2
Barefoot running surface – tarmac road
Barefoot run 1 – finished off my interval session with a barefoot cool down jog. A little over 0.5 mile in the dark on rough tarmac – very tentative!
Barefoot run 2 – ended a 3.25 mile run with just under 1 mile of barefoot running on smooth tarmac. Both feet were feeling quite sore at the end, and I couldn’t have done more. Feet remained sore for the remainder of the evening, but were ok the next day.
Notes: My lower back has been tight this week and I have has sciatica / cramping in my left hamstrings / glutes when running. I have had pain in both heels and a slight discomfort under right kneecap. None of these evident when running in bare feet.
