First barefoot run.<\/p>\n
This week- 8 miles total, Only 1 bf run, .25mile, asphalt, warm and sunny out.<\/p>\n
I really was just curious, so I took off my shoes at the end of a run. Only about a 1\/4 of a mile left till I was home, so I thought why not?<\/p>\n
Wow, the asphalt is really rocky and rough without shoes! Quickly I realized I HAVE to run on my forefoot\/midfoot and with quick short strides. Man this definitely did not feel pleasurable on my feet, yet something just felt right and so much better about my stride.<\/p>\n
The reasons I decided to continue with this type of training was d\/t some advice via Runners world’s forums. I reviewed the research and I just figured why not? It makes sense! As long as I take it slow and cautiously. Especially after coming back from an injury I had to go slow anyhow.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
