Hi,
I've begun walking/running barefoot since august.
For the last month I've only ran barefoot, or with minimal shoes, It's awesome and I don't see myself training any other way. Problem is I've registered for an ultra ( 72 km ) for the fifth of december.
I'm far from ready to run it with minimal shoes even if my long runs with minimal are 2h long..
My whole training with minimal/barefoot is the same volume I'd do with normal shoes for that kind of event, It's just that my body is not ready yet to run in that manner for this distance..
So I'd run it with normal shoes, but isn't that too risky as I only train barefoot or with minimal ?
Any similar experience out there ?
Thanks !
