Hey there fellow barefoot runners! My name is Brandon, and I'm from Buffalo, NY.
I'm a CAT4 competitive cyclist, and a 99% noob runner. Last year, I tried to start running shod, but quickly developed ITB issues that knocked me on my rear for a few months. I quit running completely and haven't run since. After researching ITBS, I came across Born to Run, then many other barefoot resources. I haven't run since last year, but I'm ready to start from scratch barefoot.
My plan it to incorporate BF walking into my training. 3 x 5 minutes per week, adding 5 minutes each week until I can walk for 30 - 45 minutes BF. Then, I'll start adding in 1 minute of BF running per workout, doing 3 BF workout per week. Does this sound like a good plan for a noob?
Thanks!
