The 1st of many barefoot runs!

Twisty · Aug 9, 2012

After three weeks of walking around barefoot.......I'm just back from my first barefoot run. Whoop whoop!!!
Was only limiting myself to .5 of a mile but the feet were feeling fine so done .7 then walked for a further 30mins.
Not much but it's a start!
Now do I rest the moro or go again since my feet are feeling not to bad?????????

Rest at least one day but I'd do 2 just in case. Just cuz they feel fine doesn't mean they weren't beaten up. TMTS injuries sneak up on you.

Your right Josh! Just got a bit excited, I was'nt expecting to be able to run that far and thought I would have been hobbling home. Got to drill it in my head "take it slowly"
Going to take your advice and leave it till Sunday.

A cautious approach is always a good idea when starting out BF running.....that being said, everyone will be a bit different. Some poeple can transition more quickly than others. I would however, tend to agree with Josh that a day off wouldn't hurt whereas no day off could be problematic.
...And congrats! :barefoot:

Every time I got over confident I got a niggle and had to take time out, rest. A stitch in time saves nine.

Nice job, good to see some newcomers on here. Take it easy, your feet might feel good now, but also watch your leg muscles and tendons. They need time to adapt also.
