    Mileage Reporting Week 49 (Dec 5 - Dec 11)

    Hi! Heading for the end of the year, heh? It was a national holiday today and we had spring-like weather, so it would have been a waste not going out. I run for 10.5 km @ 6:08 min/km and it felt great. I had rained the previous days, so I looked for all the mud I can find in my way :D Cheers!

    Stuart Marsh - How I learned to love barefoot running

    A nice story about a coach who decided to give it a try: Tell people that you plan on running nine kilometres barefoot and you'll usually get one of two reactions: they'll either grimace and mutter something about blisters, or simply stare at you like you've joined a new religion where you have...

We spent a few days in the area and decided to hike from the village of Fisterra to Cape Finisterre lighthouse. https://goo.gl/maps/uR5ThPccpYp It was a bit less than 10 km. Most of the...

    Volta a Peu 2016, Valencia, Spain

    I've secretly always wanted to run this race without even knowing it. When I was a kid I heard of people running this Volta a Peu popular race in my hometown. I hated sports, so I wasn't only not interested on it, but I also tried to convince myself that it was a waste of time. Who want's to...

    Invisible ouchie in the heel

    Hi everyone! Like 3 weeks ago I went for run —conveniently barefoot, o'course— and at some point my left heel landed on a stone. I produced some pain in that moment but I kept running and it did not bother me for the rest of the run. Then, 3 days later I went out for another run and I could...

    I passed out while running

    What the title reads. Well, actually I had stopped at a red light, and before I could react I fainted. I had barely run for 1 km and at a low pace of around 6:30 min/km. I had eaten like 3.5h hours earlier —a chicken and vegetables sandwich and a pastry. There was nothing unusual. I simply...

    Fighting prejudices

    So basically, people close to me thinks I'm nuts and that barefoot running is just "yet another eccentricity". I guess when people that knows you for a long time find it extremely weird when you suddenly start doing something they didn't expect from you, and they look at you like :O or like :/...
