greetings from The Netherlands

Hi!

I'm a barefoot runner from The Netherlands and I've been running barefoot for the last 7 months I switched to BF running because of shinsplints problems which completely disappeared when transitioning to BF. I really enjoy the BF feeling. Unfortunately at the moment I experience some ball of foot pain but I hope by slowing down a bit it will disappear

JP - glad to have you here. 

JP - glad to have you here. Slowing down should help. You'll be able to speed up some eventually, but the key to success is to get it right at slow speeds first, then very slowly increase speed and distance. Sounds like you have already figured that out. Welcome, and enjoy!

thanks for your welcome! I

thanks for your welcome! I will slow down from now on, I'm even considering to temporarily stop running in order to speed up recovery.
