I have been taking a break whilst a slight, but stubborn, Achilles tendon problem improves.\u00a0The recent cold weather proved too much temptation and I just had to see what it was like to run barefoot on snow covered roads.<\/p>\n<p>It was, admittedly, just a short trial, but it was an interesting experience nonetheless. After a few shod miles on the road I stopped about a quarter of a mile from home to remove my shoes and socks. It was cold, air temperature about zero, and the ground temp a little lower; the snow was compacted and quite firm. Interestingly, it didn&#8217;t feel too cold for this short distance. However, after finishing my run, the short 100m walk to my front door through ankle-deep snow made my feet feel very, very cold.<\/p>\n<p>All in all, a great reintroduction to the joys of barefoot running.<\/p>\n<p>But, do take it easy in the snow otherwise you&#8217;ll end up like Kevin here.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_404\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-404\" style=\"width: 200px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><a href=\"https:\/\/runningtrainingplan.com\/runningpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/snowman1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-404 \" title=\"snowman\" src=\"https:\/\/runningtrainingplan.com\/runningpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/snowman1-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"Kevin the barefoot snowman\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/runningtrainingplan.com\/runningpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/snowman1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/runningtrainingplan.com\/runningpress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/01\/snowman1.jpg 500w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-404\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Kevin, the barefoot snowman<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Possibly enthused by the recent articles in the newspapers, I decided to take the running shoes off again.
