Distance Barefoot: 6km (treadmill)<\/p>\n
\u00a0After a week skiing (not a very barefoot friendly activity), I was back on it this week.\u00a0 The relative rest gave my calf strain time to recover and now feels absolutely fine, but the cold weather seemed to follow me home and it\u2019s been a bit cold and snowy this week.\u00a0 So far I\u2019ve managed a couple of barefoot runs on the treadmill.\u00a0 I find that treadmills seem to blister my soles even more than asphalt – think it’s the heat of the belt, so I kept them fairly short and extended one a little bit by putting my VFFs on for 10 mins or so.\u00a0\u00a0 I tried to stop just before blisters actually develop, and think that I’ve managed to hit that sweet spot – feet felt a little tingly but seemed fine the next day..\u00a0 Hopefully this will help my soles cope with tarmac when it’s more reasonable out there.<\/p>\n
\u00a0Other than a fairly unimpressive weekly distance, I\u2019ve put my money where my mouth is and entered Windsor half marathon.\u00a0 It\u2019s not \u2018til October, so I should have loads of time. \u00a0The course is 100% tarmac, and being in Windsor Great Park should mean there is little by way of debris to worry about \u2013 if i can get through the training on the streets of London it should be a walk in the park..<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
