I know this will sound crazy but I feel cheated when I run on very smooth roads. I am a strictly concrete barefoot runner, would love to do trails but would have to travel to find some. Anyways my town, for some reason, is starting to pave roads. And I miss the good ol' gravel, chip-n-seal roads! I actually like to run on beat up knobby roads, with cracks in them and what not. After a good run on some challenging surfaces, I actually like the sensation my feet get.
Running on these new paved roads stinks! It's totally boring for my feet lol! I have to say whatever kind of black top material they are using, it's quite strange. It actually feels soft when running on them. When it gets hot it's like running on a rubber track, kind of bizarre.
