Hi All,
The very long and winded story about how I ended up barefoot running is not for this thread, but one morning i january I took off my five fingers and ran my 5K recovery run barefooted and it started my journey towards a full time barefoot (or minimalist shoed) running.
Barefoot running and Greenland is not the obvious match and being the only one of the kind in Nuuk, makes for a lot of attention, both good and bad. This forum of like-minded runners will likely open new doors.
Spend last winter running fivefingers through ice and snow, up and down nordic skiing tracks, jumping from ice flake to stone to ice flake, in temperatures down to -25C or so and all summer and fall running barefoot as much as possible.
It is a long journey just started and if I were to describe it in just three pictures it would be something like this:
I am now confident up to around half marathon distance in bare feet, but will hopefully run my first full marathon barefooted next year (but which one I do not know yet)
I travel extensively, with Utrecht and Copenhagen as regular stops and generally running barefoot where I go.
I am looking forward to learn from the experienced people in here and share my own advise where I can.
Cheers,
Thomas
