RandomWanderer Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 did a 7.2 barefoot run today in 1:44.57 and broke my goal! Had the music from Rudy going in my head the whole time lol. This was all 4 days after a big 6 mile mud run too, pushed it a little to see what I could do. Goal Achieved : Running(lvl6) - Do a 6 mile run by September 1st (current max 7.2 miles(lvl 7) as of 8/22/12)+5 for endurance baby!

The Tin Man Posted August 22, 2012 Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wow, great job! I just ran 0.8 miles barefoot today and my feet feel a bit raw. Good on ya! The Tin Man: Cyborg Ranger Tin Man's Out of Date Epic Quest I am what I do. Link to comment
RandomWanderer Posted August 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2012 Haha I've built up to this point over 3 months, so no worries.. My feet show no sign of running barefoot these days. I started out barefoot walking.The biggest thing that helped was reading " barefoot walking: step by step" when you run barefoot how you are supposed to, the miles melt and even after 7 miles you feel you could go more but there are little aches in your legs from the knees down, and you know not to push yourself too far..beware of the BRES- Barefoot running exuberance syndrome.

(I bet I'd be the only one...)I need to do some hiking barefoot myself.. I've actually "got rid of " my boots in the wilderness like two years ago and when I go camping/hiking I do it in an awesome pair of columbia techlight sandals... totally barefoot is a feat(heh) I haven't tried yet. Any normal road races I do will ALWAYS be barefoot though, I'm looking for a 5k myself.
