I went from zero to my first 50 mile run in 9 months - largely through learning how to run again bare. My IT band would assure you that was “too much too soon”.

That said, I was always in shape and always inclined to be barefoot.

We can do more than we believe we can - especially if we are comfortable with risk of injury.

The first time I went over 50, all of my joints seized up at 75ish miles in a new and unpleasant way I’d never experienced.

We can do more than we believe. A couple weekend ago, I finished the 100 mile distance for the 6th time. I attribute my success with being able to run these races without chronic injury directly to the efficient way I re-learned how to run via barefoot. I wouldn’t dream of attempting a 240 at this time.

And by the way, my feet aren’t that tough either - and I wear shoes on the trails.

Good luck!

My Posterity Footprint
I leave my footprint for you to see
the damage that shoes did to me.
My foot is no longer nice and wide
but narrow and cramped in shoes they hide.
No longer are my feet healthy and free
but diseased and sick, they bother me.
Take this as a lesson, so you may too
not be fooled into thinking shoes rule.
This is what society did to me.
I leave my footprint for the world to see. ~me
