Hi Everyone,
New barefoot runner here. I have finally took the leap ant left my comfy expensive running shoes.
Im not a big runner, im a rugby player so I am not built for long distance running but I try and run 5 to 10K twice a week depending on how much training ive been doing.
Everything I have read sounds encouraging and although my first run has caused me a bit of pain at the top of my foot (I ran a bit too far and a bit too fast) it felt very natural.
I guess I am looking for advice on how to start off. I have started on a treadmill and ran 1.5K at a speed of about 8 to 10K. I think this was too far but it felt good while I was running.
Did anyone else get pain at the top of the foot near the ankle when they started?
When I am sure my technique is OK I will move onto the track before moving onto the roads (Live in Brunei and the roads vary different in quality dramatically) Will be looking to buy some shoes but not ill I am sure BFR is working for myself.
Any advice would be greatly recieved!
Thank you
Owen Martin
