I've just been for a run, nothing special just a trot up a farm track and through a pine plantation. I decided to do the plantation bit in bare feet just to see how it went. The soft, pine needle covered bits were great, the grassy bits were great, but the stony bits bloody hurt, especially if they were going 'downhill'.
I'm just getting back to running so I'm not clocking up big distances yet, and I normally run in Wave Harriers. I have been trying to run as a midfoot striker for a while now, and I'm quite pleased with it so far. However, I haven't particularly noticed any calf pain so I#m wondering if I'm doing it right? I was under the impression that if you run in bare feet you would automatically do it right, as your body compensated. Or maybe I'm not running for long enough? (about 20 minutes in bare feet, today)
Anyway, it feels good so I'll keep on with it! Got some of those vivobarefoot neo trails put away for crimbo..!
