...I don't know what to think.
After several week into barefoot running today I decided to go for a shod run on my Bikilas LS —which I totally love, BTW— because it was a bit too cold and I still suffer a bit from a healing blister.
The point is I expected a better overall performance than when run barefoot. Something significant, I mean. But no. I got 6:16 min/km when in my last BF run I got 6:26. Also today I run for 6 km while I usually run for 10 km when barefoot.
So the experience turned to be inconclusive, but makes me think that I can be as fast running barefoot as doing it shod. Of course it's possible, but I'm surprised at me being able to do that.
