Hi BRS
This is me, 21yo male danish student, doing a semester in Adelaide and I decided to lose my shoes from now on. As I am a barefoot newbie, I'd love to meet up, take a run and maybe get a few opinions on my form (the way I land that is) if there is anyone in Adelaide?
I like the idea of running barefeet, so no fivefingers or me, and Adelaide is really clean, and youre not allowed to drink anywhere, so pavement is secure.
As I just started the previous week, I'm not running any distance yet, just running up along the beach (on the pavement). I've actually done it 4/6 days, but its been less than >1k each, and going slow. No problems yet, but when I run, my calves get tired pretty quickly, nd furthermore I find it hard to run fast without landing heel first. I am still trying to figure out the technique.
I used to run intermediate level shodded. Thats running 2-3 times a week, peaking with a danish 13,3K hill run in just 59.48. My friend suggested I should participate in the Adelaide City Bay Fun Run, thats 12k. The time and distance is no problem for me shodded, but I'm wondering whether I'll be ready to run that distance barefeet in 42 days?
Looking forward to learn from and share with you guys
Cheers
