Done about 6 barefoot runs now.
Mostly grass, pavement, beach.
I read in the book about trying to run on rough surfaces as much as possible to start with to get correct form/posture when running (in Barefoot Bob's book).
Problem is . . . it bloody hurts!
I can do about 5 minutes stumbling on pebbles or gravel slowly, or run pretty well and pain free (and really enjoy) for 30 mins plus on the other smoother surfaces.
Any thoughts on the necessity of 'rough running' as to be frank I don't enjoy it and it really puts me off. Muhc rather run on the other surfaces.
Cheers,
John
