Hey. I have started going around town and over all types of surfaces barefoot much more since this summer. But, I banged my foot in the pool in July and top of foot still has issues. Healing tendons or ligaments has been slow. Slowed somewhat by my sticking to my streak and going all around barefoot. (it seems)
Anyway - in about 12 days I have my Full Marathon. I havent been able to get all the training I wanted in. This week I completed a 16 mile run as my longest. I may just taper for next 12 days. Longest barefoot run was 12.2. I have done 13.4 in the past. Since keeping my shoes off more, my feet sweat more. So much so that my shoes and socks were soaked after the 16 mile run.
So, my question is. How bad of an idea would it be to run the Full barefoot at this time?
I KNOW I could do a Half bare with this training. Its just the final 13 miles that concerns me. And, there is a time cutoff. My PR is 4:28. The cutoff is 6 hrs. If I can run 10 minute miles and I can walk / limp 22 min miles, I need to run at least 16 at 10:00 to be able to finish at 6 hrs with 22 min pace for 10 miles.
