Hi All,
I am a new to running and have been convinced to try barefoot by all I have read on the web. In the past when I have run, I have got injured really quickly, but this time round I have been concentrating on getting my running form correct first, and I am convinced that running barefoot will help with this.
What I would like to know is, do any of you think that barefoot running could be a problem for someone like me with limited running experience, as opposed to experienced runners transitioning to barefoot?
So far I have taken it really slowly, running very short distances barefoot in addition to my main run, where I am building up my distance, and which I still do in shoes.
Any thoughts would be helpful ...
Chris.
