First actual barefoot run of the year was Friday! Took my shoes off and ran the last mile or so bare feet. When I got home I noticed a small blood blister while showering on my fourth toes, on the pad. Thoughts? Feet not tough enough yet? Thanks!!
This is what I tend to do, grip the ground with my toes. I have to consciously focus on not doing that when I catch myself doing it. Usually only happens when I'm tired and fatigued.I had toe blister issues on a lot of my barefoot runs. I would 'grip' the road, for lack of a better term, and kinda scrunch my toes befor I lifted. This would create a drag of my toes as I lifted. Since I have long arsed monkey second and third toes, they would blister and callous.
I no longer run skin to ground, so take it fwiw; there is something mechanical causing it most likely; pushing, twisting, sliding, and dragging are all possible sources. Or it could be something completely different.
...and yes Lee, I'm on spring break. Be ready for my post count to rise!
