Five miles this morning, my longest barefoot run of the year! I've been plagued with blisters on my right 2nd & 3rd toe pads for several months. I've been concentrating on bending my knees more, lifting quickly, increasing my cadence, and relaxing, etc., none of which has helped much with my toes. I was given a revelation yesterday reading Barefoot Ken Bob's book, curve up your toes before foot landing! (p100). He calls when he discovered it an epiphany and it really is. I really concentrated on this and it made a huge difference! My feet are a bit tender, but no blisters today!
After a year of running BF I am realizing I have so much to learn and practice.
5mi, 12:00 pace, Asphalt chip seal, 70 degrees, 60% humidity, Sunny. Happy.
