Hi all! I'm new to barefoot running but have been running minimalist for about 3 years now. I was recently looking for a new pair of shoes when I came across some information about going completely barefoot. I initially thought it was crazy but the more I read about it the more I wanted to try it.
I have been running barefoot for about a month now and can say that I am addicted to it. I know I'm supposed to start slow but I can't help myself and have been running about a mile each time I go out. I can run around a track and be ok afterward but cement is another story. The paved path I use is not very smooth compared to a sidewalk and can get painful by the end of the run. I have been working on my form and have finally figured out how to kind of spring for lack of a better term on each stride.
I will end here so as to not bore you guys too much! I'm just glad I have a place to talk about my weird hobby and get advice.
