Good morning peeps:)
Short Shake out for the legs this morning.
Out at 5:33 am, 🌡️19°c 94% humidity
So, 5km in 34:40, this is a new PB for me in barefoot shoes, and week by week, I'm slowly getting closer to my all time PB. I think expelling those demons yesterday helped a lot with opening up, plus; the routes not exactly flat, but far more preferable to where I ran my all time best.
Then an easy 2k home, for 7.10km total - a good start to the day, ticked off 👍😁
@robchapman congratulations on your 5k PB!
It's harder to run in barefoot shoes, so any progress is a victory for your body mechanics 🎉.
Well done 💪!
This 'barefoot shoe' topic is also for me very interesting. I run sometimes in my Merrels. But the goal is to do it more often. Think my feet would love it 👍🙂
@BarefootMicha @robchapman for now I'm just walking in a pair of barefoot Xero shoes. However I plan to start short #running sessions in them, maybe once a week, this summer.
I wear barefoot shoes without exceptions more then 10 years in my everyday life. And for running also once a week for about 6 or 7K. It's always a good feeling, but I would like to increase this.
The thing against it is my wish to run longer runs. And the target is a 62,3K Ultratrail in 2026 or at least 2027.
So it's diffcult for me to handle both. Long runs and running more in barefoot shoes.
@BarefootMicha
Have you thought about running the ultra barefoot? it's quite a common shoe choice.
I'd quite like to do a marathon barefoot, and go onto a ultra., but first I need to get back to my pre-barefoot performance, now i am a barefoot runner...
