good Queen's Lane 6-miler 6.19 mi 00:56 09:06 pace

Today was my first naked run. No, not *that* naked... Just decided to leave my shoes at home and run fully barefoot for the first time. It's been nagging the back of my mind for so long, and it felt good to finally get out there and try! Far more different than I had expected compared to running in Vibrams - loads more feedback from my feet, and and infinitely more concentration required. Experience definitely to be repeated!!

    6mi on your first real barefoot run? That is a lot. How did your soles hold up?

    Good question Lance, everything's a little tender, I probably should have kept it to 3-4 miles. One section of the pavement was quite abrasive at mile 5, I'm still feeling it!

    Did you consider grass for a first time out? You are gonna feel it for a bit Robert! Hope its only a short lived smarting:)

    Great first bf run! Remember not to rush it and end up with a big blister so you can't go barefoot for a week or two.

    Good stuff, sir! Wow. Impressive distance for a first go. Not surprised the soles are feeling it but, hey, you survived. Hope you had fun :)
