Hi
I live in Durban, South Africa and have only been running barefoot for about 2 weeks. Prior to this I had been in a long layup due to Plantar Faciitis in both feet. I finished a standard Marathon in March, nearly crippled. Up until then I had been training for my first Comrades. This mean very heavy milage weeks. Unfortunately this was not meant to be!
I have already manngaed to pick up some really nice blisters on the soles of my feet and on the tip of one toe
Toeing off and stride lenght are definitely the problem so still need a bit of work.
Due to surface conditions I will definitely be going back into shoes for the long distance stuff. It's just the type of shoes are going to be different this time
