    So I went out this evening To brace total barefoot running for the first time after it got dark which probably wasn’t the greatest idea as i did stand on a few stones and twigs and it felt a bit sore but it was really good. I managed 3k and nothing was hurting other than my feet when the tarmac...

    Hello Trevise, Thanks very much for taking the time to reply to my post.... I think the only thing to do is as you say, go totally barefoot and see how I get on !!!!!

    Hello peeps..... Sorry for another question that I’m sure has been asked 1.3 million times before but I couldn’t find it on here. I can normally get to between 5 and 8 k before my Achilles starts to burn so I was wondering if i just need to pull back on the distance and build really slowly. I’m...
