Hey all,
I've been barefoot running for a while now...like, 9 months, but also have been barefoot hiking lately when the snow melts and it gets warm. One of the side effects I'm finding is my outer calf muscles have been sore. It's on both sides, on the outside of my leg, running just down the calf below and knee and above the foot. My sister has it too, and she's been running on snow for a while now - in Michigan...they don't clear sidewalks in my home town I've been running on snow too and on uneven surfaces.
I was just wondering if anyone else has felt soreness in this part of their calf?
Do you think it's a balance muscle thing?
Any other thoughts or similar experiences?
